Whole-genome sequencing of Klebsiella pneumoniae MDR circulating in a pediatric hospital setting: a comprehensive genome analysis of isolates from Guayaquil, Ecuador
Our WGS results for clinical isolates highlight the importance of MDR in neonatal K. pneumoniae infections and their genetic diversity. WGS will be an imperative strategy for the surveillance of K. pneumoniae in Ecuador, and will contribute to identifying effective treatment strategies for K. pneumoniae infections in critical units in patients at stratified risk.
