Tags: klebsiella mlst virulence amr serotyping bactopia-tool

Comprehensive screening of Klebsiella genomes for virulence and resistance determinants.

This Bactopia Tool uses Kleborate to screen genome assemblies of Klebsiella pneumoniae and the Klebsiella pneumoniae species complex (KpSC). Kleborate predicts: MLST, species, ICEKp associated virulence loci, virulence plasmid associated loci, antimicrobial resistance determinants, and K (capsule) and O antigen (LPS) serotype.

Usage

Bactopia CLI:

bactopia --wf kleborate \
--bactopia /path/to/your/bactopia/results

Nextflow:

nextflow run bactopia/bactopia/workflows/bactopia-tools/kleborate/main.nf \
--bactopia /path/to/your/bactopia/results

Audit Trail

Below are files that can assist you in understanding which parameters and program versions were used.

Logs

Each process that is executed will have a folder named logs. In this folder are helpful files for you to review if the need ever arises.

ExtensionDescription
.beginAn empty file used to designate the process started
.errContains STDERR outputs from the process
.logContains both STDERR and STDOUT outputs from the process
.outContains STDOUT outputs from the process
.runThe script Nextflow uses to stage/unstage files and queue processes based on given profile
.shThe script executed by bash for the process
.traceThe Nextflow trace report for the process
versions.ymlA YAML formatted file with program versions

Nextflow Reports

These Nextflow reports provide great a great summary of your run. These can be used to optimize resource usage and estimate expected costs if using cloud platforms.

FilenameDescription
kleborate-dag.dotThe Nextflow DAG visualization
kleborate-report.htmlThe Nextflow Execution Report
kleborate-timeline.htmlThe Nextflow Timeline Report
kleborate-trace.txtThe Nextflow Trace report
