The exopolysaccharide Poly-N-Acetyl-Glucosamine (PNAG) coats <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae in vivo</i>

2024-09-23

Abstract excerpt

The conserved bacterial polysaccharide Poly-N-Acetyl-Glucosamine (PNAG) is a potential broad-spectrum vaccine candidate. While the immunogenicity of PNAG-based vaccine candidates has been established, characterisation of PNAG production across clinically relevant bacteria remains largely unknown. In particular, PNAG production in the Gram-negative pathogen Klebsiella pneumoniae (KP) is not well understood. Here,...
