* Using advanced sequencing techniques, researchers found that these isolates carried multiple plasmids, including a large virulence plasmid, and specific genetic factors that contribute to their hypervirulence and drug resistance.
* This research is the first to report on MDR hvKp ST23 with a newly identified gene insertion in its virulence plasmid, suggesting potential integration sites for antimicrobial resistance genes and indicating that ST23 strains are no longer limited to non-resistant varieties, necessitating further studies on their
