Klebsiella isolates from hospitalized patients in Dhaka, Bangladesh

In this study, we wanted to understand the clinical and bacterial factors resulting in Klebsiella invasive disease in hospitalized patients. Klebsiella pneumoniae is a leading cause of neonatal sepsis globally, and Bangladesh likely has a high burden of Klebsiella infections. However, there is limited data on Klebsiella pneumoniae in Bangladesh, and this study seeks to improve our understanding of the genomic epidemiology of the bacteria and clinical characteristics of impacted patients.
