Comparative Genomics of Klebsiella pneumoniae Strains with Different Antibiotic Resistance Profiles
12 Jul 2011
Abstract excerpt
There is a global emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae, a Gram-negative enteric bacterium that causes nosocomial and urinary tract infections. While the epidemiology of K. pneumoniae strains and occurrences of specific antibiotic resistance genes, such as plasmid-borne extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs), have been extensively studied, only four complete genomes of K....
