Comparative analysis of Klebsiella pneumoniae genomes identifies a phospholipase D family protein as a novel virulence factor

Table 3 Prevalence of the genomic islands among K. pneumoniae isolates

Genomic island	Virulence-related features	Prevalence (%)	Remarkable STs
GI-I	Colibaction	3.5^a	-
GI-I	Yersiniabactin	3.5^a	-
GI-II	cOMP	5.8	3775,65,25
GI-II	4-phytase	5.8	3775,65,25
GI-III	Igg-like	8.1	Dispersed
GI-III	Exonuclease	57.6	375,65
GI-IV	Sefir-domain	1.7	-
T6SS insertion	PLD1	7.0	380,35
	Sel 1	7.0	380,35

^aaccording to ref. [55]. Prevalence of virulence-related features encoded in GI-II, GI-III, GI-IV and T6SS insertion was based on >90% identity and >50% coverage in the length of the genes, using a database of 171 Klebsiella genomes representative of 47 different STs. STs, sequence types.
