Pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) is a common intra-abdominal infection in adults. In this study, we aim to explore demographic and clinical characteristics of PLA focusing onKlebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) induced PLA (KP-PLA) in mainland China. A retrospective review of medical records from a...
pneumoniae focused on the definition of its biofilm forming potential as well as on the structural characterization of the polysaccharides present in the biofilm matrix and on the evaluation of the activity of selected AMPs in the presence of biofilms. K. pneumoniae is well known to produce 77 ...
pneumoniae survival within their host during a successful infection. Therefore, acquiring and recruiting host iron metals by the pathogenic bacteria is an effective strategy to survive and establish infection within the host in the presence of immune cells, e.g., macrophages (MΦs and neutrophils)...
https://doi.org/10.3390/ d15040527 Abstract: Klebsiella pneumoniae can cause life-threatening pneumonia in humans. The bacterium is also the causative agent of nosocomial infection diseases. In our recent research, we reported, for the first time, the presence of K. pneumoniae in fourteen species...
pneumoniae have emerged as a predominant cause of pyogenic liver abscess (PLA). PLA is a potentially life-threatening disease due to complications of bacteremia, sepsis, and metastatic infection of brain, eyes, lungs and other organs, especially in patients with diabetes [12,13]. A number of ...
(adk,fumC,gyrB,icd,mdh,purA,recA) for the 32K. pneumoniaestrains is shown. The evolutionary history was inferred by using the maximum likelihood method and the Tamura-Nei model. The tree with the highest log likelihood (−14986.75) is shown. The lab number of the strains is indicated in...

Keywords: innate immunity; virulence; pathogenesis; metastatic infection; protein expression 1. Introduction In the past 30 years, disseminated Klebsiella pneumoniae (KP) invasive syndrome has usually been observed in diabetic patients, especially in those with poor glycemic control [1]. In addition to...
