Klebsiella pneumoniae Oxa-48 strain 1191100241 Genome Sequencing Project
Whole genome sequencing was performed in order to characterize a highly pathogenic, multi antibiotic-resistant strain of Klebsiella pneumoniae carrying the Oxa-48 beta-lactamase.  This strain caused an outbreak in a Dutch hospital in 2011 that sickened 78 patients, killing 27.  Comparative genomics was used to identify strain-specific signature sequences for detection and tracking of this organism.
