Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp) is an emerging pathogen causing severe infections globally, yet genomic data from inland South African regions remain limited, hindering understanding of local hvKp diversity and virulence. METHODS: Elevenhypermucoviscous Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates collected in 2021 and 2024 were subjected to WGS. Genomes were assembled and analysed for sequence types,...
