Comparative genomics of closely related strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae reveals genes possibly involved in colistin resistance

2014-06-01

Abstract excerpt

Strains of colistin-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae are emerging worldwide, due to the increased use of this molecule in antibiotic-resistant nosocomial infections. Comparative genomics was performed on three closely related K. pneumoniae strains isolated from three patients in a single hospital in Bologna, Italy. Two of these isolates are colistin-resistant, while the third is sensitive to this antibiotic. The de...
