16 Klebsiella Genomes from South African Livestock with Antimicrobial Resistance Profiles

Mohamed E. El Zowalaty provides genomic data for 16 Klebsiella strains isolated from domestic animals in South Africa. The dataset includes whole-genome sequencing results, antibiotic resistance gene profiles, biofilm formation data, and phylogenetic analyses. It was last updated on May 29, 2026.

Use Cases

• Identifying multidrug-resistant Klebsiella strains based on reported antibiotic resistance genes.
• Analyzing phylogenetic relationships among Klebsiella species based on the provided genome sequences.
• Studying virulence factors and biofilm formation in livestock-associated Klebsiella.
• Tracking novel sequence types (ST-5470, ST-5478, ST-5497) reported for the first time.

Strengths

• Contains whole-genome sequence data for 16 Klebsiella strains (10 K. pneumoniae, 3 K. variicola, 3 K. aerogenes).
• Reports nine distinct sequence types and identifies three novel ones.
• All isolates are classified as multidrug-resistant, harboring genes for resistance to at least three antibiotic classes.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset's scope is limited to 16 isolates from two provinces in South Africa.
