Finding Order in the Chaos: Outstanding Questions in Klebsiella pneumoniae Pathogenesis

Year: 2021

Type: review

Abstract: Klebsiella pneumoniae are Gram-negative facultative anaerobes that are found within host-associated commensal microbiomes, but they can also cause a wide range of infections that are often difficult to treat. These infections are caused by different pathotypes of K. pneumoniae , called either classical or hypervirulent strains.
