PathoTracker: an online analytical metagenomic platform for Klebsiella pneumoniae feature identification and outbreak alerting.

ABSTRACT: Clinical metagenomics (CMg) Nanopore sequencing can facilitate infectious disease diagnosis. In China, sub-lineages ST11-KL64 and ST11-KL47 Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) are widely prevalent. We propose PathoTracker, a specially compiled database and arranged method for strain feature identification in CMg samples and CRKP traceability. A database targeting high-prevalence horizontal gene transfer in CRKP strains and a ST11-only database for distinguishing two sub-lineages in China were created. To make the database user-friendly, facilitate immediate downstream strain feature identification from raw Nanopore metagenomic data, and avoid the need for phylogenetic analysis from scratch, we developed data analysis methods. The methods included pre-performed phylogenetic an
