The Klebsiella pneumoniae phages SopranoGao, MezzoGao, and AltoGao were isolated from the Seneca Wastewater Treatment Plant in Germantown, MD. The following reports the complete genome sequence of these bacteriophages and describes their major features.

Klebsiella pneumoniae are common causative agents of nosocomial and community acquired infections and are leading causes of morbidity and mortality. This study gives an account of isolation of Klebsiella pneumoniae from various clinical specimens and their antibiogram, in this geographical area of North East India. Various clinical samples like sputum, urine, pus and blood sent to Microbiology ...

Klbesiella pneumoniae is one of the most important human pathogens and frequently causes many diseases. To facilitate the comparative genome analysis in tigecycline resistance mechanism, we report the complete chromosomal sequence of a multidrug-resistance K. pneumoniae strain before tigecycline treatment for reference genome.

In a study of 1,777 Klebsiella strains, we discovered KPN1705, which was distinct from all recognized Klebsiella spp. We closed the genome of strain KPN1705 using a hybrid of Illumina short-read and Oxford Nanopore long-read technologies. For this novel species, we propose the name Klebsiella quasivariicola sp. nov.

The presence of plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance genes [i.e., qnrA, qnrB, qnrS, aac(6')-Ib-cr, and qepA] was evaluated among 42 bla(KPC)-containing Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates collected in the eastern United States. One isolate carried the bla(KPC-3) and qnrB19 genes on the same conjugative plasmid, whereas another carried the bla(KPC-3) and qnrA1 genes on separate plasmids.

Klebsiella pneumoniae is an important nosocomial pathogen, and multidrug-resistant strains have become a worldwide concern. Here, we report the complete genome of a K. pneumoniae isolate with chromosomally integrated blaKPC genes and a colibactin synthesis locus.

Klebsiella pneumoniaesequence type (ST) 307, carryingblaKPC-3,blaCTX-M-15,blaOXA-1,aac(6')-Ib-cr, andqnrB1 genes, is replacing the predominant hyperepidemic ST258 clone in Italy. Whole-genome and complete plasmid sequencing of one ST307 strain was performed and new features were identified.

Klebsiella pneumoniae PR04 was isolated from a patient hospitalized in Malaysia. The draft genome sequence of K. pneumoniae PR04 shows differences compared to the reference sequences of K. pneumoniae strains MGH 78578 and NTUH-K2044 in terms of their genomic structures.
