Table 1_Genomic characterization of Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates from sepsis patients in

Melese Hailu Legese's dataset comprises genomic data for 97 Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates from sepsis patients across four Ethiopian hospitals. The data includes 35 sequence types, prevalence of ESBL and carbapenemase resistance genes, and plasmid and virulence gene profiles. It was collected from October 2019 to September 2020 and published on figshare under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Phylogenetic analysis of Klebsiella pneumoniae based on 35 identified sequence types.
• Tracking the spread of antimicrobial resistance genes, such as blaCTX-M-15 and blaNDM-1, across hospital sites.
• Investigating plasmid-mediated gene transfer using identified replicons like IncFII(K) and IncR.
• Studying bacterial virulence through the presence of yersiniabactin subtypes in 44 strains.

Strengths

• Includes genomic data for 97 bacterial isolates from a defined patient cohort of 1,416 suspected sepsis cases.
• Provides detailed resistance gene counts, including 94 ESBL-positive isolates and specific carbapenemase gene tallies.
• Contains multi-site data from four hospitals across central, southern, and northern Ethiopia.

Limitations

• Dataset is very small at 17.9 KB, suggesting limited raw data or a summary document.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale analyses.
