Genome Sequencing and Comparative Genomic Analysis of Multidrug-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae in a Neurological Intensive Care Unit
NICU <i>K. pneumoniae</i> could colonise patients and the ward air environment for a long time, suggesting that there may be a similar evolutionary or direct transmission relationship between strains. The ST11-KL47 and ST11-KL64 phenotypes were the dominant clone types of CRKP in China, suggesting that the ST11-type MDR-KP should be the focus of infection prevention and control in our hospital. Comparative genomics revealed homology and genetic variability of NICU <i>K. pneumoniae</i>.
