Insights into the genetic diversity, antibiotic resistance and pathogenic potential of Klebsiella pneumoniae from the Norwegian marine environment using whole-genome analysis.

Abstract excerpt

Klebsiella pneumoniae (Kp) can cause hospital- and community acquired infections. Although, Kp is widespread in the environment, very little is known about the genetic diversity and pathogenicity of Kp from the marine environment. The aim of our study was to understand the genetic diversity, resistome and pathogenic potential of 87 Kp isolates from the Norwegian marine environment, using whole-genome sequencing....
