Gut microbiome and Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates from fecal samples of farmed foxes in northern China
This project investigates the gut microbiome and Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates from fecal samples of farmed foxes collected across five provinces in northern China. Metagenomic sequencing of fox fecal samples was conducted to characterize the diversity and abundance of antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) in the gut microbiome. In addition, whole-genome sequencing of representative Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates was performed to analyze their genomic features, virulence factors, antimicrobial resistance genes, and mobile genetic elements. These data provide insights into the resistome of the fox gut microbiome and the potential dissemination of resistance genes between gut microbiota and opportunistic pathogens.
