A high‐resolution genomic analysis of multidrug‐resistant hospital outbreaks of Klebsiella pneumoniae

Abstract Multidrug‐resistant (MDR) Klebsiella pneumoniae has become a leading cause of nosocomial infections worldwide. Despite its prominence, little is known about the genetic diversity of K. pneumoniae in resource‐poor hospital settings. Through whole‐genome sequencing (WGS), we reconstructed an...
