Exploratory profiling of defense system signatures in Klebsiella pneumoniae clonal populations

Bacterial defense systems against bacteriophages are critical for bacterial genome stability and fitness, yet their distribution and epidemiological relevance in Klebsiella pneumoniae remain unexplored. We aimed to characterize defense system signatures across major K. pneumoniae clonal lineages and evaluate their utility as genomic signatures for tracking clonal dissemination. Here, we analyzed…
