Comparison of the host responses to wild-type and cpsB mutant Klebsiella pneumoniae infections.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Previously, we established an intranasal mouse model of Klebsiella pneumoniae infection and validated its utility using a highly virulent wild-type strain and an avirulent capsular polysaccharide mutant. In the present study we compare the host responses to both infections by examining cytokine production, cellular infiltration, pulmonary histology, and intranasal immunization.

Comparison of Congo Red Agar methods and tube turbidity in biofilm formation in Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates from cases of urinary tract infections in Samen Al-Aeme Hospital Bojnourd
Introduction Biofilm can be called a bacterial community that often forms on living or non-living surfaces and is common in natural, industrial, and hospital environments. Klebsiella pneumoniae as a pathogen has the potential to produce biofilms. Understanding biofilm formation in biofilm-forming bacteria is important. The aim of this study was to investigate the biofilm formation in isolates ...
متن کاملoxyR, a LysR-type regulator involved in Klebsiella pneumoniae mucosal and abiotic colonization.
Colonization of the gastrointestinal tract is the first event in Klebsiella pneumoniae nosocomial infections, followed by colonization of the bladder or respiratory tract or entry into the bloodstream. To survive in the host, bacteria must harbor specific traits and overcome multiple stresses. OxyR is a conserved bacterial transcription factor with a key role both in the upregulation of defense...
متن کاملThe uptake of a Klebsiella pneumoniae capsule polysaccharide mutant triggers an inflammatory response by human airway epithelial cells.
The means by which airway epithelial cells sense a bacterial infection and which intracellular signalling pathways are activated upon infection are poorly understood. A549 cells and human primary airway cells (NHBE) were used to investigate the response to infection with Klebsiella pneumoniae. Infection of A549 and NHBE with K. pneumoniae 52K10, a capsule polysaccharide (CPS) mutant, increased ...

Background and purpose: Fast diagnosis of pneumococcal infections is of great importance in achieving successful outcomes. The aim of this study was to use PCR process based on capsular encoding genes of Streptococcus pneumonia. Materials and methods: In this experimental study, specific primers were designed based on the reference sequences of the Streptococcus pneumoniae cpsB, cpsD, aroE, an...
متن کاملRole of lung epithelial cells in defense against Klebsiella pneumoniae pneumonia.
The airway epithelium represents a primary site for the entry of pathogenic bacteria into the lungs. It has been suggested for many respiratory pathogens, including Klebsiella pneumoniae, that adhesion and invasion of the lung epithelial cells is an early stage of the pneumonia process. We observed that poorly encapsulated K. pneumoniae clinical isolates and an isogenic unencapsulated mutant in...
