Novel screening assay for in vivo selection of Klebsiella pneumoniae genes promoting gastrointestinal colonisation
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
Klebsiella pneumoniae is an important opportunistic pathogen causing pneumonia, sepsis and urinary tract infections. Colonisation of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is a key step in the development of infections; yet the specific factors important for K. pneumoniae to colonize and reside in the GI tract of the host are largely unknown. To identify K. pneumoniae genes promoting GI colonisation, a novel genomic-library-based approach was employed.
