Genomic Epidemiology of Carbapenemase Producing <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> Strains at a Northern Portuguese Hospital Enables the Detection of a Misidentified <i>Klebsiella variicola</i> KPC-3 Producing Strain

Genomic Epidemiology of Carbapenemase Producing <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> Strains at a Northern Portuguese Hospital Enables the Detection of a Misidentified <i>Klebsiella variicola</i> KPC-3 Producing Strain

The evolutionary epidemiology, resistome, virulome and mobilome of thirty-one multidrug resistant <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> clinical isolates from the northern Vila Real region of Portugal were characterized using whole-genome sequencing and bioinformatic analysis. The genomic populat...
