Genetic comparison of the virulence plasmid. BRIG comparison of seven plasmids, including the classical virulence plasmids pLVPK and pKP2044; pVir-CR-hvKP4 from an outbreak of the ST11-K47 strain (Gu et al., 2018); pKP58-1 from a recently reported single ST11-K64 strain (Ruan et al., 2020); pVir-CR-hvKP-C789 from the ST11-K64 strain reported in a retrospective analysis that indicated the early spread of these strains (Zhang et al., 2020); and an L39-p2 strain that exhibited a high coverage and identity with plasmid p1 from our KP20194a strain (by BLAST). pKP2044 was used as the reference plasmid. Virulence genes are highlighted in red.
