Effective macrophage clearance of Klebsiella pneumoniae requires the inducible nitric oxide synthase iNOS and is independent of reactive oxygen species generated by NADPH oxidase

This study shows that macrophages clear Klebsiella pneumoniae via iNOS-mediated RNS, not NOX2-generated ROS, highlighting a key role for iNOS in bacterial clearance.

Patterns of Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteremic dissemination from the lung

This study tracks Klebsiella pneumoniae dissemination from the lung using barcoding, revealing two distinct patterns of bacterial spread and their associated host and bacterial factors.
