Genome sequencing of Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical isolates by Dr. Taj Ali Khan and Dr. Taane G. Clark
This study involves whole-genome sequencing of clinical isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae collected from patients with various infections in Peshwar, Pakistan. The project aims to characterize the genomic features, antimicrobial resistance determinants, and potential virulence factors present in these isolates. The generated genomic data will contribute to improved understanding of local epidemiology, transmission patterns, and resistance mechanisms of K. pneumoniae, an important opportunistic pathogen associated with serious healthcare-associated infections.
