Klebsiella pneumoniae strain KP11CR KP11CR_603

Klebsiella pneumoniae strain KP11CR (accession SETS00000000.1) is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that exhibits facultative anaerobic metabolism, utilizing a chemoheterotrophic energy source. This strain is capable of existing in various cellular arrangements, including chains, pairs, and singles, and features flagella, which contributes to its mobility. KP11CR is classified as mesophilic, with an optimal growth temperature of 37°C. This bacterium is known to have a wide range of hosts, including Homo sapiens, Gallus gallus, and various other vertebrates and invertebrates, indicating its versatility and adaptability to different biological environments. The pathogenicity of KP11CR is notable, as it is associated with several significant health effects in humans, including bacteremia, urinary tract infections, pneumonia, and sepsis, among others. This highlights its potential risk as a human pathogen, especially in vulnerable populations. KP11CR's free-living biotic relationship further emphasizes its ecological role, as it can thrive independently in various environments. Its presence in diverse hosts suggests a complex interaction with different ecosystems, potentially influencing microbial communities and health outcomes in both animals and humans. Understanding the traits of KP11CR enhances our knowledge of its pathogenic potential and ecological significance, particularly in the context of its transmission and impact on host health.
