Authors: Cornick, J. E., Musicha, P., Peno, C., Saeger, E., Iroh-Tam, P.-Y., Bennett, A., Kennedy, N., Feasey, N., Heniz, E., Cain, A. K.
Abstract:
A suspected outbreak of multi-drug resistant (MDR) Klebsiella pneumoniae in a Malawian neonatal unit was investigated using whole-genome sequencing. Strain-types, virulence and resistance genes of K. pneumoniae isolated from patients in the hospital over a four-year period were identified. A MDR ST340 clone was implicated as the likely outbreak cause.
