Abstract excerpt
Klebsiella pneumoniae causes serious infections in the urinary tract, respiratory tract, and blood. Lipid rafts, also known as membrane microdomains, have been linked to the pathogenesis of bacterial infection. However, whether lipid rafts affect K. pneumoniae internalization into host cells remains unknown. Here, we show for the first time that K. pneumoniae was internalized into lung cells by activating lipid...
