@bugwaja and team for this nice work calling for efforts to transform mpox treatment centers from monofacal isolation units into integrated hubs for acute febrile rash illnesses.
The @klebnet.bsky.social team are pleased to share slides from our “Klebsiella pneumoniae Genomic Epidemiology & Antimicrobial Resistance” lecture series!
Topics include Kleb diversity, lineages, AMR, hypervirulence, how to use Kaptive & Kleborate for typing, and more!
