Klebsiella pneumoniae strain NUHL30457

Klebsiella pneumoniae strain NUHL30457 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium characterized by its facultative anaerobic metabolism and chemoheterotrophic energy source. This strain is capable of thriving in the presence or absence of oxygen, which allows it to adapt to various environmental conditions. It typically exists in chains, pairs, or as single cells and exhibits mobility due to the presence of flagella. The optimal growth temperature for NUHL30457 is 37°C, indicating it is mesophilic and well-suited to the human body and other warm-blooded hosts. The strain harbors five replicons and has a double membrane structure, which is characteristic of Gram-negative bacteria. It has been isolated from a wide range of hosts, including Homo sapiens, Gallus gallus, and various other Metazoa and Viridiplantae, highlighting its versatility and adaptability in different ecological niches. Klebsiella pneumoniae NUHL30457 is associated with several serious health effects, including bacteremia, urinary tract infections, pneumonia, and various other infections such as meningitis and sepsis. Its pathogenicity is primarily directed towards humans, but its presence in multiple host species indicates a broader ecological role. This adaptability and range of pathogenic effects underscore the importance of monitoring Klebsiella pneumoniae in clinical settings, as it poses significant risks to human health and can lead to severe infections in vulnerable populations.
