Klebsiella pneumoniae (Kp) bacteria are among the top causes of hospital infections and are often resistant to a wide range of antibiotics. While some hospital bugs are well-studied, we are considerably behind in our understanding of Kp, which can be carried in our bodies as a commensal without causing disease. Bacterial genomics will be used to dissect how Kp infections are acquired in hospital, including investigating the evidence for hospital transmission and the role of commensal carriage in causing serious hospital infections.

肺炎克雷伯氏菌（Kp）是医院感染的主要原因之一，通常对多种抗生素具有耐药性。虽然一些医院的错误是很好的研究，我们是相当落后，在我们的理解Kp，它可以在我们的身体作为一种寄生虫携带而不引起疾病。细菌基因组学将用于剖析Kp感染是如何在医院获得的，包括调查医院传播的证据和肠道携带在导致严重医院感染中的作用。
