Clinical and Genomic Profiling of Klebsiella pneumoniae Liver Abscesses, 2022-2023

From 2022 to 2023, this dataset contains clinical and genomic data from a study of Klebsiella pneumoniae infections in liver abscess patients at a German tertiary care hospital. It includes metadata on 30 cases, with 12 monomicrobial infections, and correlates patient demographics and outcomes with genetic traits. The dataset was created by Felix Aurnhammer and is shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Correlating specific sequence types (e.g., ST23-KL1, ST86-KL2) with hypervirulent liver abscess presentations.
• Investigating diabetes mellitus as a potential risk factor for severe Klebsiella pneumoniae infections.
• Analyzing the prevalence of hypervirulent strains (58% in monomicrobial cases) among liver abscess isolates.
• Studying the genetic diversity and absence of nosocomial transmission in Klebsiella pneumoniae liver abscess cases.

Strengths

• Contains data from 111 recorded liver abscesses, with Klebsiella pneumoniae detected in 30 cases.
• Includes correlated clinical metadata (demographics, underlying diseases) and genomic data for analysis.
• Specific time range (2022-2023) and geographic context (German tertiary care hospital) are provided.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, requiring manual inspection after download.
• The dataset is small (22.1 KB), indicating a limited scope of observations.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
