Whole genome sequencing reveals high-resolution epidemiological links between clinical and environmental Klebsiella pneumoniae
2017
Background
Klebsiella pneumoniae is a gram-negative bacterial species capable of occupying a broad range of environmental and clinical habitats. Known as an opportunistic pathogen, it has recently become a major causative agent of clinical infections worldwide. Despite growing knowledge about the highly diverse population of K. pneumoniae, the evolution and clinical significance of environmental K. pneumoniae, as well as the relationship between clinical and environmental K. pneumoniae, are poorly defined.
