Colistin resistance mutations in <i>phoQ</i> sensitize <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> to IgM-mediated complement killing
2022-09-15
Abstract excerpt
The Gram-negative bacterium Klebsiella pneumoniae is notorious for a strong increase of infections with antibiotic resistant strains. To treat infections with antibiotic resistant K. pneumoniae, clinicians increasingly need to use the last resort antibiotic colistin. K. pneumoniae can develop colistin resistance by modifying its membranes. During infection the membranes of Gram-negative bacteria are also target...
