In-host evolution of classic to convergent Klebsiella pneumoniae sequence type 147 isolates and impact of associated capsular changes on different morphotypes

K. Sydow, E. Dogan, M. Schwabe, S. E. Heiden, M. M. Khan, J. U. Müller, J. A. Bohnert, D. Baecker, R. Schlüter, P. Schierack, E. Eger, E. A. Idelevich, K. Becker, K. Schaufler

This study investigates in-host evolution of Klebsiella pneumoniae sequence type 147 isolates, revealing microevolution from classic to convergent pathotype through plasmid acquisition and capsular changes affecting virulence and morphology.

Temperatures above 37°C increase virulence of a convergent Klebsiella pneumoniae sequence type 307 strain

J. U. Mueller, M. Schwabe, L.-S. Swiatek, S. E. Heiden, R. Schlüter, M. Sittner, J. A. Bohnert, K. Becker, E. A. Idelevich, S. Guenther, E. Eger, K. Schaufler

This study shows that temperatures above 37°C increase hypermucoviscosity and virulence in a convergent Klebsiella pneumoniae strain, potentially due to plasmid-encoded factors and temperature-dependent regulatory changes.
