The iucC gene is a major contributor to the virulence of hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae
Overall, this work provides a crucial theoretical foundation for elucidating <i>iucC</i> function and the pathogenesis of <i>K. pneumoniae.</i> Its widespread presence in different hosts and environments considerably increases the risk of cross species transmission and public health events.
