Gene database of Klebsiella pneumoniae

<i>Klebsiella pneumoniae </i>is a Gram-negative, facultative anaerobic, non-motile bacterium whose natural habitat is the soil environment. Also present in human mouth, skin and gastrointestinal tract, <i>K. pneumoniae</i> is a significant pathogen when in the lungs, where it results in distinctive sputum. Implicated in nosocomial infections, the bacterium remains a subject of intense study, where one pertinent research topic is in understanding how immunocompromised patients may be affected by the pathogen. This work sought to provide a resource of the genetic repertoire of <i>K. pneumoniae</i> based on the annotated genome sequence downloaded from Genbank. Comprising gene name, gene function and gene sequence of all genes in the genome of <i>K. pneumoniae</i>, the dataset should find use in guiding genome editing studies in generating loss-of-function mutants for understanding the pathogenesis mechanisms of this important pathogen.
