Klebsiella pneumoniae from humans, animals and the environment in Guadeloupe: first insights into genomic
Résumé
K. pneumoniae (Kp) represents nearly 10% of nosocomial infections in the Western world, including Guadeloupe, and is one of the most problematic multidrug resistant bacteria. Hypervirulent clonal groups of Kp are also responsible for invasive community-acquired infections, such as pyogenic liver abscess and meningitis. As the reservoir of clinically and epidemiologically prominent clonal groups of Kp is currently unknown, we expect to define the sources of human infections through an “One Health” approach.
