Genomic Characterization of Multidrug-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae Strains from Bovine Mastitis Reveals Extensive Resistome and Virulome Arsenals

This study aimed to comprehensively characterize the genomes of K. pneumoniae isolates associated with bovine CM in Bangladesh. By integrating conventional microbiological techniques with whole-genome sequencing, we sought to (i) determine the prevalence and AMR profiles of K. pneumoniae from milk and fecal samples, and (ii) conduct in-depth genomic analyses to investigate their relatedness, plasticity, resistome, and virulome.
