Molecular characterisation of a <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> neonatal sepsis outbreak in a rural Gambian hospital: a retrospective genomic epidemiology investigation

2026-03-04

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Klebsiella pneumoniae is a common cause of neonatal sepsis in Africa, and is frequently hospital acquired. We recently reported an outbreak of multidrug-resistant K. pneumoniae sepsis amongst neonates at a rural hospital in The Gambia, West Africa, involving 57 cases and case fatality of 60%. Here we undertook a retrospective pathogen genomic epidemiology study of clinical and environmental...
