Genome assemblies and pan-genome data for 328 clinical isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae species complex, representing one year of infections diagnosed in a hospital diagnostic lab

The Klebsiella Acquisition Surveillance Project at Alfred Health (KASPAH) was conducted from April 1, 2013, to March 31, 2014 in Melbourne, Australia. During this period, all clinical isolates identified as K. pneumoniae or K. variicola infections by the Alfred Hospital microbiological diagnostic laboratory as part of routine care were included in the study. In addition to the Alfred Hospital, the laboratory serves other hospitals in the Alfred Health network, namely Caulfield, Sandringham and Bethlehem Hospitals, and isolates referred from those hospitals are included in the collection.
