Abstract:Background
The emergence of multi-drug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (MDR-KP) represents a serious clinical health concern. Antibiotic resistance and virulence interactions play a significant role in the pathogenesis of K. pneumoniae infections. Therefore, tracking the clinical resistome and virulome through monitoring antibiotic resistance genes (ARG) and virulence factors in the bacterial genome using computational analysis tools is critical for predicting the next epidemic.
