Genomic surveillance of multidrug-resistant and hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae
This project aims to characterize three clinical isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae ST101. These isolates were identified as multidrug-resistant (MDR), carrying several antimicrobial resistance genes including blaNDM-5 and blaCTX-M-15, along with multiple virulence factors such as yersiniabactin and aerobactin. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) was performed using Oxford Nanopore technology to investigate their resistance mechanisms, plasmid profiles, and clinical significance
