Klebsiella pneumoniae strain EuSCAPE_GR077

Klebsiella pneumoniae strain EuSCAPE_GR077 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that is classified as a facultative anaerobe and a chemoheterotroph. This strain is capable of existing in various arrangements, including chains, pairs, and singles. It possesses flagella, allowing for mobility, and has a mesophilic temperature range, with an optimal growth temperature of 37°C. This strain is primarily associated with hosts such as Homo sapiens, Gallus gallus, and various Metazoa, among others. It exhibits a free-living biotic relationship but is notably pathogenic to humans. Klebsiella pneumoniae strain EuSCAPE_GR077 is implicated in a wide range of health complications, including bacteremia, urinary tract infections, pneumonia, and sepsis, among others. The extensive list of health effects indicates its significant role in both hospital-acquired and community-associated infections. With a single replicon and a double membrane structure, this strain reflects the typical characteristics of many Gram-negative bacteria. The pathogenicity of Klebsiella pneumoniae strains like EuSCAPE_GR077 highlights the importance of understanding their ecological roles and interactions within host organisms. Given its capacity to cause serious infections, monitoring and studying this strain are crucial for public health, especially in clinical settings where vulnerable populations are at risk. Its ability to thrive in diverse environments, including those associated with various hosts, may facilitate its persistence and spread within ecosystems, raising concerns for infection control and prevention strategies.
