High-risk extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae ST307 in a neonatal sepsis outbreak in Zambia: a secondary genomic analysis

Abstract Neonatal sepsis caused by multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae contributes substantially to neonatal morbidity and mortality, especially where treatment options and genomic surveillance are limited. Phenotypic microbiology defines susceptibility, whereas Illumina short-read whole-genome sequencing (WGS) l...

Genomic characterization and phylogenetic placement of Matryoshka RNA virus 1 associated with Plasmodium vivax malaria in Africa

Abstract Plasmodium vivax is a major cause of human malaria. It harbours Matryoshka RNA virus 1 (MaRNAV-1), a bi-segmented positive-sense RNA virus. MaRNAV-1 was first described in P. vivax and is now recognized as part of a wider group of Matryoshka viruses. These viruses also infect other haemosporidian parasites suc...

Lytic bacteriophages targeting carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated in a resource-limited Zambian laboratory

Abstract Klebsiella pneumoniae is a major cause of healthcare-associated and community-acquired infections, increasingly complicated by multidrug resistance (MDR) and carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae (CRKp). Phage-based approaches are attractive in such settings but rely on infrastructure and expertise, which are not...

Virulence gene profiles of extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) from Zambia: a secondary in silico study

Abstract This secondary in silico study analysed 36 Escherichia coli draft genome assemblies from Zambia to characterize the virulence gene profiles of extraintestinal pathogenic E. coli (ExPEC) and to relate them to mobilome proxies, namely plasmid replicons and prophage content. All assemblies met plausibility thresh...
