Complete Genome Sequences of Three Uropathogenic Klebsiella quasipneumoniae Strains Isolated from Postmenopausal Women with Recurrent Urinary Tract Infection

Year: 2021

Type: article

Abstract: Recurrent urinary tract infection (rUTI) poses a major health issue, especially among postmenopausal women. We report complete genome sequences of three Klebsiella quasipneumoniae strains isolated from the urine of postmenopausal women with rUTI. K. quasipneumoniae is a recently identified Klebsiella species with clinical and virulence characteristics distinct from K. pneumoniae .
