K-PAM: a unified platform to distinguish Klebsiella species K- and O-antigen types, model antigen structures and identify hypervirulent strains
Abstract A computational method has been developed to distinguish the Klebsiella species serotypes to aid in outbreak surveillance. A reliability score (estimated based on the accuracy of a specific K-type prediction against the dataset of 141 distinct K-types) average (ARS) that reflects the specif...

Abstract A computational method has been developed to distinguish the Klebsiella species serotypes to aid in outbreak surveillance.
