Klebsiella variicola Genome sequencing and assembly. Klebsiella variicola

We have undertaken comprehensive clinical and molecular study recovering bacteria from clinical samples from the patients admitted to Dhaka Medical College Hospital to determine the epidemiology and drivers of antimicrobial resistance, and predict the impact of interventions. Patients’ demographic (age, sex, locality, economic class) and clinical data (clinical symptoms, ward, admission date & outcome and ongoing antibiotics) will be merged with the sequencing data to determine risk factors and outcomes for MDR versus non-MDR infections. Whole genomic sequencing (WGS) on bacteria will identify clonal spread, AMR genes, virulence scores and contextualize pathogens dominant South Asian strains.
