Description

Olav N L Aga leads a 2026 study that maps how drug resistance evolves in Klebsiella pneumoniae, a bacterium that causes many hospital infections. Resistance is a growing global burden, and predicting its paths could guide policy. The team used resistance features predicted from about forty-seven thousand bacterial genomes across 102 countries and a sampling method that infers likely evolutionary routes.

Some resistance behaviors were consistent worldwide, while resistance to two key drug classes varied by country. Those differences tracked with regional groupings and drug use policy. Newly sequenced African data across several decades matched the roadmap's predictions. Linking resistance forecasts to policy and social factors could strengthen responses, the authors hope.
