Abstract
It is of interest to describe the distinctive features gleaned from the comparative genome analysis of clinical and non-clinical isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae. The core genome of K. pneumoinae consisted of 3568 genes. Comparative genome analysis shows that mdtABCD, toxinantitoxin systems are unique to clinical isolates and catB, benA, and transporter genes for citrate utilization are exclusive to non-clinical isolates. We further noted aromatic compound degrading genes in non-clinical isolates unlike in the later isolates. We grouped 88 core genes into 3 groups linked to infections, drug-resistance or xenobiotic metabolism using codon usage variation analysis. It is inferred using the neutrality plot analysis of GC12 with GC3 that codon usage variation is dominant over mutation pressure. Thus, we document data to distinguish clinical and non-clinical isolates of K. pneumoniae using comparative genomes analysis for understanding of genome diversity during speciation.
