Epidemiology Consortium
The KlebNET-GSP Epidemiology Consortium collates publicly available K. pneumoniae species complex (KpSC) whole genome sequences with matched isolate source and sampling information, to support:
- KlebNET Clone Reviews– collaborative genomic epidemiology reviews of globally distributed clones (e.g multi-drug resistant or hypervirulent clones);
- KlebNET Clone Risk Framework– a systematic risk framework to support global genomic surveillance of pneumoniae;
- KlebNET Metadata Repository– a comprehensive open-access repository of enhanced contextual meta-data, facilitating use and reuse of publicly available data by the global research community by enabling robust epidemiology and genomic meta-analyses.
The consortium is coordinated by A/Prof Kelly Wyres and Ms Hina Salimuddin (Monash University, Australia) on behalf of the KlebNet-GSP and operates according to its Terms of Reference.
Participation in the consortium is contingent on contributing contextual metadata for Klebsiella genome sequences that have been deposited in public databases, for inclusion in the metadata repository and consortium analyses.
