The <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> citrate synthase gene, <i>gltA</i> , influences site specific fitness during infection

2019-03-05

Abstract excerpt

Klebsiella pneumoniae (Kp), one of the most common causes of healthcare-associated infections, increases patient morbidity, mortality and hospitalization costs. Kp must acquire nutrients from the host for successful infection. However, the host is able to prevent bacterial nutrient acquisition through multiple systems, including the innate immune protein lipocalin 2 (Lcn2) that prevents Kp iron acquisition by sequ...
