Comparative genomic analysis of clinical isolates of <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> isolated from newborns with different outcomes of the infectious process in the neonatal period by Alexander V. Ustyuzhanin, Anna A. Makhanyok, Guzel N. Chistyakova, Irina I. Remizova

“…Strain 222 of ST3559, which has the largest number of antibiotic resistance genes, contained the smallest number of virulence factor genes, and vice versa, strain 144 of ST23, in which the smallest number of antibacterial drug resistance genes was detected, contained the most virulence factor genes. Conclusions. Identification of K. pneumoniae strains that differ in the genetic profile of antibiotic resistance and virulence in neonatal hospital patients indicates a complex interaction between bacteria and the macroorganism, in which isolates with low pathogenic potential can cause serious infectious complications, and vice versa, when a highly virulent strain does not realize its pathogenic potential, as demonstrated in case of K. pneumoniae strains ST14, ST3559 and ST23, respectively. …”
