We report 579 hybrid genome assemblies (568 complete) of Klebsiella pneumoniae species complex isolates from human, animal and marine sources in Norway collected 2001-2020, belonging to six phylogroups including K. (n=493) variicola (n=69) 364 unique sequence types.
Members of the Klebsiella pneumoniae species complex (KpSC) are opportunistic pathogens that cause severe and difficult-to-treat infections. KpSC common in non-human niches, but clinical relevance these populations is disputed. Utilising 3,255 whole-genome sequenced isolates from human, animal marine sources collected during 2001-2020 Norway, we showed different niches were distinct overlapping. Notably, human infection greatest connectivity with each other, followed by carriage, pigs,...
