Fumarate and nitrate reduction regulator (FNR) modulates hypermucoviscosity and virulence in hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae through anaerobic adaptation
28 Jul 2025
Abstract excerpt
Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKP), a pathogen responsible for severe invasive infections, exhibits a hypermucoviscosity (HMV) phenotype that is closely associated with its virulence. While fumarate and nitrate reduction regulator (FNR), a global transcription regulator, is critical for bacterial adaptation to hypoxic conditions, its role in hvKP pathogenicity remains unexplored. This study demonstrates...
