This paper shows that loss of O-linked glycosylation in B. cenocepacia disrupts quorum sensing, leading to reduced biofilm formation and siderophore production.

The paper investigates K. pneumoniae carriage and infection in geriatric wards, finding that most isolates originated from patients' gut microbiomes, while ESBL strains were acquired in the referring hospital.

This study finds that gastrointestinal carriage of K. pneumoniae is a significant risk factor for infection in ICU patients, with half of infections originating from the patient's own microbiota.
