Klebsiellaspp. are non-motile,ornithine decarboxylase,gelatinaseandindolenegative. They are capsulate, ferment glucose, lactose andinositol, and are citrate,urease, and Vokes-Proskaüer positive. Seven species are recognized includingK. pneumoniae, K. ozaenae, K. oxytoca, andK. rhinoscleromatis. ...

pneumoniae has long been viewed as an important virulence factor that promotes resistance to phagocytosis and serum bactericidal activity. Thus, the CPS has been targeted previously for the development of therapeutics and vaccines, although there is no licensed CPS-based vaccine or therapy for the ...

Klebsiella pneumoniae releases the peptides AKTIKITQTR and FNEMQPIVDRQ, which bind the pneumococcal proteins AmiA and AliA respectively, two substrate-binding proteins of the ABC transporter Ami-AliA/AliB oligopeptide permease. Exposure to these peptides alters pneumococcal phenotypes such as growth. ...

The rapid emergence of penicillinases in both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria led to the development of cephalosporin β-lactam antibiotics, but production of plasmid-mediated extended-spectrum cephalosporinases (or extended-spectrum β-lactamases) and AmpC enzymes resulted in resistance to ...
Klebsiella pneumoniae is a leading cause of intractable hospital-acquired multidrug-resistant infections and carbapenemase-producing K. pneumoniae (CPKp) are particularly feared. Most of the clinical isolates produce capsule as a major virulence factor.
