Article Synopsis
- Klebsiella variicola, an emerging pathogen from wastewater in South Africa, was analyzed for its genetic diversity and antibiotic resistance using whole genome sequencing.
- The study identified a dominant beta-lactamase gene and a prevalent capsule type among various K. variicola strains, indicating strong antibiotic resistance.
- A novel bacteriophage associated with the pathogen was also discovered, which may influence its resistance mechanisms and the spread of bacteria in the environment.
