Klebsiella pneumoniae strain 4300STDY6470471

Klebsiella pneumoniae strain 4300STDY6470471 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that exhibits a facultative anaerobic metabolism, allowing it to thrive in both aerobic and anaerobic environments. This strain, classified as a chemoheterotroph, derives its energy from organic compounds. It typically exhibits a diverse cell arrangement, appearing in chains, pairs, and singles, and possesses flagella, contributing to its mobility. The strain's optimal growth temperature is 37°C, placing it within the mesophilic temperature range, which is conducive to growth in warm-blooded hosts. Notably, Klebsiella pneumoniae strain 4300STDY6470471 is associated with a variety of hosts, including Homo sapiens, Gallus gallus, and multiple other metazoan species, indicating its ecological versatility and potential for cross-species interactions. Clinically significant, this strain is linked to a range of health effects in humans, including bacteremia, urinary tract infections, pneumonia, and various intra-abdominal infections. Its pathogenicity is underscored by its ability to cause severe conditions such as sepsis and neonatal sepsis, highlighting its role as a significant opportunistic pathogen. In terms of its ecological role, Klebsiella pneumoniae strain 4300STDY6470471 is classified as free-living, suggesting that it can exist independently in various environments, potentially contributing to microbial diversity and interactions within its habitats, including those associated with human activity and agriculture. This adaptability may also facilitate its persistence in clinical settings, where it poses challenges for infection control and treatment.
