Effects of iron on the growth, biofilm formation and virulence of Klebsiella pneumoniae causing liver abscess

2020-02-10

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background: Klebsiella pneumoniae is considered the most clinically relevant species of Enterobacteriaceae, known to cause severe infections including liver abscesses. To the best of our knowledge, a large proportion of iron in the human body is accumulated and stored in the liver. We hypothesize that increased iron availability is an important factor driving liver abscess formation and...
