Klebsiella pneumoniae Genome sequencing and assembly. Klebsiella pneumoniae

The rising prevalence of ESBL Klebsiella pneumoniae remains a major clinical threat globally. Due to its ability to rapidly acquire antimicrobial resistance, Klebsiella pneumoniae has become a major concern seeking for an urgent action to prevent the spread of multi-drug resistance bacteria. Whole genome sequencing have many benefits but one of the main benefits of using WGS is to characterize the genomic contents of clinically important microbes such as bacteria and viruses and relate it to virulence-associated phenotypes to allow their transmission understanding within the hospital and to provide accurate diagnostics as well as to apply prompt therapies.
