Abstract:
Klebsiella pneumoniae strains are capable of becoming resistant through multiple mechanisms. Here, we announce draft sequences for Kp 23, a clinical isolate with no plasmid-encoded β-lactamases, and KPM 20, a clinical isolate with no plasmid-encoded β-lactamases and no detectable OmpK35, OmpK36, or PhoE in the outer membrane.

Advancements in molecular biology have revolutionized the identification and characterization of bacteria, with multiple methods leveraging DNA sequencing for enhanced precision. As sequencing technologies improve and costs decline, these approaches are increasingly used in clinical, environmental, and evolutionary studies.Multilocus Sequence Typing (MLST) examines several housekeeping genes, essential chromosomal genes encoding cellular functions, to distinguish strains. Approximately...

46.5K
The genome of most prokaryotic organisms consists of double-stranded DNA organized into one circular chromosome in a region of cytoplasm called the nucleoid. The chromosome is tightly wound, or supercoiled, for efficient storage. Prokaryotes also contain other circular pieces of DNA called plasmids. These plasmids are smaller than the chromosome and often carry genes that confer adaptive functions, such as antibiotic resistance.
