whole genome sequence of klebsiella pneumoniae

The increasing prevalence of tigecycline and carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae (CRKP) poses a serious challenge, especially in resource-limited settings. Its ability to exchange resistance genes with other bacteria accelerates the spread of multidrug resistance. While carbapenems and tetracyclines have been used effectively against K. pneumoniae, resistance to these agents is now rising globally, narrowing available treatment options.
