Whole Genome Sequencing of Extended-Spectrum β-lactamase Producing Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolated from a Patient in Lebanon

Whole Genome Sequencing of Extended-Spectrum β-lactamase Producing Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolated from a Patient in Lebanon

Objective: The emergence of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing bacteria is now a critical concern. The ESBL-producing Klebsiella pneumonia constitutes one of the most common multidrug-resistant groups of gram-negative bacteria involved in nosocomial infections worldwide. In this study we...
