Next-generation sequencing based hospital outbreak investigation yields insight into <i>Klebsiella aerogenes</i> population structure and determinants of carbapenem resistance and virulence
2018-12-17
Abstract excerpt
Klebsiella aerogenes is a nosocomial pathogen associated with drug resistance and outbreaks in intensive care units. In a 5-month period in 2017, we experienced an increased incidence of positive cultures for carbapenem-resistant K. aerogenes (CR-KA) from an adult cardiothoracic intensive care unit (CICU) involving 15 patients. Phylogenomic analysis following whole-genome sequencing (WGS) identified the outbreak...
