Antibiotic resistance and novel Sequence Types of <i>Klebsiella</i> spp. in human, animal, and food sources: a One Health perspective from Northern Nigeria.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to evaluate the genomic characteristics of Klebsiella spp. from human, animal, and food sources, and to establish their clonal relationships with globally circulating sequence types (STs). Using both phenotypic and next-generation sequencing approaches, a total of 300 samples comprising food samples (n = 180) and human clinical samples (n = 120) were collected and analyzed. Of these, 45 Klebsiella spp. were isolated from human (n = 16), animal (n = 15), and food (n = 14) sources. K. pneumoniae was the predominant species (34/45; 75.5%), followed by K. variicola subsp. variicola (4/45; 8.8%), K. quasipneumoniae (3/45; 6.6%), K. pneumoniae subsp. similipneumoniae (2/45; 4.4%), K. ae
