Bioinformatic analyses of ST628 Klebsiella pneumoniae strains recovered from a nosocomial outbreak at University Hospitals Dorset: Appendix File S2

Comparative genomic and epidemiological data for plasmids related to pESBL-PH-2018. The file contains data for 61 plasmids identified as highly similar to the outbreak-associated multidrug-resistance plasmid pESBL-PH-2018. It includes plasmid and host-strain identifiers, bacterial species and sequence types, countries and dates of isolation, clinical or environmental sample sources, and sequence-similarity measurements derived from Mash and BLAST analyses. The file also reports plasmid lengths, recombination-filtered core single-nucleotide polymorphism distances, SNP densities relative to pESBL-PH-2018, and selected antimicrobial-resistance, virulence and stress-associated determinants detected in the bacterial host strains. These data support the assessment of the plasmid’s structural conservation, geographic and temporal distribution, host range and potential horizontal dissemination.
