Database for kraken2 KpSC plasmid classifier

Plasmid-free chromosomal sequences and complete plasmid sequences used for constructing a Kraken2 database for the <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> species complex (KpSC). This dataset contains 2,487 complete KpSC chromosomal sequences, representing all seven KpSC taxa, and 30,095 complete <i>Enterobacteriaceae</i> plasmid sequences. These can be found in the <b>kraken2-sequences.tar.gz </b>file.The original database was developed by Gomi <i>et al., </i>2021, which has been expanded to include more chromosomal and plasmid sequences using a similar inclusion criteria. Accessions and metadata for all sequences in this database are available in the <b>kraken2-classifier-metadata.xlsx</b> file. This database was designed to be used with the kraken2 software developed by Wood <i>et al., </i>2019, with example code shown in the <b>build-kraken2-database.sh</b> file.<b>References:</b>Gomi, R., Wyres, K.L., and Holt, K.E.
