A plasmid locus associated with <i>Klebsiella</i> clinical infections encodes a microbiome-dependent gut fitness factor

2020-02-27

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Introductory paragraph</h4> Gut colonization by the pathogen Klebsiella pneumoniae (Kp) is consistently associated with subsequent Kp disease 1-5 , and patients are predominantly infected with their colonizing strain 1,2 . However, colonizing strains likely vary in their potential to cause infection. We previously identified the plasmid-encoded tellurium resistance ( ter ) operon as highly associated with...
