Klebsiella variicola Raw sequence reads. Klebsiella variicola

Klebsiella variicola is an emerging Gram-negative pathogen that can lead to severe opportunistic infections in clinical settings. Initially identified as a distinct species with clinical and plant-associated isolates, K. variicola has been found in diverse environments, including hospitals, plants, and less frequently in wild and farm animal infections. To detect potential transmission events in a way that would permit early remedial action from our local Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) team, we established a simplified prospective genomic surveillance program in our laboratory using Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) sequencing. This data represents K. variicola genomes collected from Wellington Regional Hospital in 2023.

变栖克雷伯菌（Klebsiella variicola）是一种新兴的革兰氏阴性病原菌，可在临床环境中引发严重的机会性感染。该菌最初被认定为包含临床及植物相关分离株的独立物种，后续研究显示其广泛存在于多种环境中，涵盖医院、植物宿主，且在野生动物与农场动物的感染病例中较为少见。为了监测潜在的传播事件，以便当地感染预防与控制（IPC）团队能够及时开展早期干预，本实验室依托牛津纳米孔技术（Oxford Nanopore Technologies，ONT）测序建立了一套简化的前瞻性基因组监测方案。本数据集收录了2023年从惠灵顿地区医院采集的变栖克雷伯菌基因组。
