Genomic relatedness of colonizing and invasive disease Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates in South African infants

Abstract Klebsiella pneumoniae (KPn) colonizes multiple anatomical sites and is a leading cause of invasive disease and death in African children; however, there is no comparative genomic analysis between colonizing and invasive strains. This study investigated the genomic relatedness of KPn coloniz...
