Our study highlights the importance of infection prevention in human clinical settings. However, reducing transmission that leads to colonisation - e.g. from direct contact with animals or via the food chain - could also play an important role in reducing the KpSC disease burden 🦠

While most KpSC infections in humans were linked to human isolates, we found ~5% had close relatives in animal and marine environments, despite being separated by time and location

The KpSc populations were distinct but overlapped across human, animal and marine sources, however there were few recent transmission events across the niches
