Contribution of nosocomial transmission to Klebsiella pneumoniae neonatal sepsis in Africa and South Asia: An observational study of infection clusters inferred from pathogen genomics and temporal data
- Abstract:
-
Background: Klebsiella pneumoniae is the leading cause of sepsis among neonates in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) in Africa and Asia, contributing substantially to the overall burden of antimicrobial-resistant infections and mortality among neonates globally. Pathogen sequencing has been used to investigate case clusters and confirm nosocomial transmission in a small number of neonatal units. Here we utilise pathogen sequence data to estimate the fraction of K. pneumoniae neonatal s...
