Klebsiella aerogenes Complex Capsular Polysaccharide Synthesis Loci References

This repository contains a Kaptive-compatible cps loci database for typing Klebsiella aerogenes complex (KAC) species.

Usage Instructions

1. Install Kaptive by following the instructions provided in the repository.
2. Run Kaptive using the KAC primary KL loci.
3. For results flagged as "untypeable," or with identity less than 98%, coverage less than 95%, or missing expected genes, re-run the analysis using the KAC variant KL loci.
