Snapshot of Defense Systems in Multidrug Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Résumé fourni par la source

from Ghanaian hospital ICUs, focusing on CRISPR-Cas, restriction-modification (R-M), and toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems. Genomes of environmental (NS2) and clinical (PS4) strains were sequenced and analyzed using PADLOC, defensefinder, and TADB3.0. NS2 carries 12 defense systems, including CRISPR-Cas, while PS4 has five. Both possess diverse RM and TA systems. These strains, resistant to six antibiotic classes, encode clinically significant defense systems, suggesting microbial exchange between fomites and humans, potentially increasing infection risks in ICU environments requiring targeted surveillance.
