introduction klebsiella pneumoniae is one of the most important gram-negative bacteria causing hospital-acquired infections. case presentation in this report is presented a patient with an abdominal infection caused by carbapenemase producing-klebsiella pneumonia (k. pneumonia). in spite of administrating the combination therapy, successive resistance to last-resort antimicrobial agents (colist...

conclusions our results indicated that an enormous proportion of k. pneumoniae isolated from sputum and surgical-wound swabs produced fully established biofilms. it is reasonable to assume the existence of a relationship between the site of infection and the formation of biofilm. a high level of genetic diversity among the k. pneumoniae strains was observed. results the distributions of the cli...

Listeria monocytogenes can cause serious infection and recently, relapse of listeriosis has been reported in leukemia and colorectal cancer, and the patients with Klebsiella pneumoniae are at increased risk of colorectal cancer. Translation initiation codon recognition is basically mediated by Shine-Dalgarno (SD) and the anti-SD sequences at the small ribosomal RNA (ssu rRNA). In this research,...

A 269-kilobase conjugative plasmid, pK29, from a Klebsiella pneumoniae strain was sequenced. The plasmid harbors multiple antimicrobial resistance genes, including those encoding CMY-8 AmpC-type and CTX-M-3 extended-spectrum beta-lactamases in the common backbone of IncHI2 plasmids. Mechanisms for dissemination of the resistance genes are highlighted in comparative genomic analyses.

Klebsiella pneumoniae is a clinically significant opportunistic bacterial pathogen as well as a normal member of the human microbiota. K. pneumoniae strain IA565 was isolated from a tracheal aspirate at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics. Here, we present the genome sequence of K. pneumoniae IA565.

A clinical isolate and a nonclinical isolate of Klebsiella pneumoniae were found to exhibit nonheritable tolerance in response to antimicrobial compounds. The draft genome sequences of both isolates are presented here.

Klebsiella pneumoniae given by aerosol was significantly less virulent in mice and monkeys than when given by intranasal (mice) or intratracheal (monkeys) instillation.

We report here the complete genome sequence ofKlebsiella pneumoniaestrain YH43, isolated from sweet potato. The genome consists of a single circular chromosome of 5,520,319 bp in length. It carries 8 copies of rRNA operons, 86 tRNA genes, 5,154 protein-coding genes, and thenifgene cluster for nitrogen fixation.

A Klebsiella pneumoniae ompA mutant was more susceptible to antimicrobial peptides (APs) than the wild type. Susceptibility did not result from surface changes other than the absence of OmpA. Our data suggest that OmpA is implicated in the activation of yet-unknown systems dedicated to ameliorating AP cytotoxicity.
