Klebsiella pneumoniae strain EuSCAPE_RS076

Klebsiella pneumoniae strain EuSCAPE_RS076 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that exhibits a facultative anaerobic metabolism, primarily functioning as a chemoheterotroph. This strain typically forms chains, pairs, and singles in its cellular arrangement and possesses flagella, which contributes to its mobility. It thrives optimally at 37°C, fitting within the mesophilic temperature range. This bacterium is host-associated, demonstrating a free-living biotic relationship and interacting with a diverse array of hosts, including Homo sapiens (humans), Gallus gallus (chickens), various metazoans, plants (Viridiplantae), Danio rerio (zebrafish), Ovis aries (sheep), Phasianidae (pheasants), Sus scrofa (pigs), Aves (birds), Canis lupus familiaris (domestic dogs), amphibians, and Equidae (horses). Klebsiella pneumoniae strain EuSCAPE_RS076 is notable for its pathogenicity in humans, being associated with a wide range of health effects. These include bacteremia, urinary tract infections, pneumonia, cystitis, intra-abdominal infections, liver abscesses, meningitis, wound infections, and more severe conditions such as sepsis and septicemia. The diversity of conditions linked to this strain underscores its clinical significance. The ecological insight from the data suggests that Klebsiella pneumoniae's adaptability to various hosts and environments, combined with its pathogenic potential, positions it as a critical player in both human health and the broader ecological context. Its capacity to thrive in diverse habitats and cause numerous infections highlights the importance of monitoring its prevalence and resistance patterns in clinical settings.
