An Animal Model to Study <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> Gastro-Intestinal Colonization and Host-to-Host Transmission

2020-02-05

Abstract excerpt

An important yet poorly understood facet in the life cycle of a successful pathogen is the host-to-host transmission. Hospital-acquired infections (HAI) resulting from the transmission of drug-resistant pathogens affect hundreds of millions of patients worldwide. Klebsiella pneumoniae ( Kpn ), a gram-negative bacterium, is notorious for causing HAI, with many of these infections difficult to treat as Kpn has be...
