next-generation sequencing

Objective. To study genetic diversity of Klebsiella pneumoniae strains obtained in the National Medical and Surgical Center named after N.I. Pirogov (Moscow) using next-generation sequencing. Materials and Methods. A total of 19 isolates of K. pneumoniae were included in the study (18 – from patients and 1 – from nosocomial environment). The strains were isolated from January 30 to October 9, 2017 and phenotypically showed multi-drug resistance. DNA sequencing of the strains was performed on the Illumina HiSeq1500 instrument using the Illumina HiSeq PE Rapid Cluster Kit v2 and Illumina HiSeq Rapid SBS Kit v2 kits.
