Fig. 6: The summary of virulence and antimicrobial resistance in K. pneumoniae from various hosts.

From: Global trends of antimicrobial resistance and virulence of Klebsiella pneumoniae from different host sources

Fig. 6

a The distribution of the number of ARGs in different sample hosts. b The distribution of the number of VFGs in different sample hosts. c AMR scores predicted by Kleborate for isolates from different host sources. d Virulence scores predicted by Kleborate for isolates from different host sources. The error bar represents the standard deviation. The significance level was set at p < 0.05 (*), p < 0.01 (**), or p < 0.001 (***). e Distribution of AMR and hypervirulence-associated genes among K. pneumoniae. fim type I fimbriae, mrk type 3 fimbriae, ent enterobactin, K-locus capsule, O-locus lipopolysaccharide (LPS), clb colibactin locus; iro salmochelin locus, iuc aerobactin locus, rmpA/A2 regulators of mucoid phenotype genes, ybt yersiniabactin locus. The numbers of strains isolated from different hosts are: humans (n = 2369), pigs (n = 135), poultry (n = 126), cattle (n = 54), dogs (n = 48), environments (n = 33), cats (n = 23), blowflies (n = 21).
