Klebsiella pneumoniae strain EuSCAPE_TR100

Klebsiella pneumoniae strain EuSCAPE_TR100 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that exhibits a facultative anaerobic metabolism, primarily relying on chemoheterotrophy for energy. This strain is known for its mobility, facilitated by the presence of flagella, and demonstrates diverse cellular arrangements, including chains, pairs, and singles. EuSCAPE_TR100 thrives optimally at 37°C within a mesophilic temperature range. This bacterium is associated with various hosts, including Homo sapiens, Gallus gallus, and several other metazoan species, indicating its ecological versatility. It is notably free-living, yet it has significant pathogenic potential in humans, contributing to a wide range of serious health issues. These include bacteremia, pneumonia, urinary tract infections, and various intra-abdominal infections, among others. Its pathogenicity is underscored by its ability to cause conditions such as neonatal sepsis and emphysematous pyelonephritis. Klebsiella pneumoniae strain EuSCAPE_TR100 is nonsporulating and possesses two membranes, characteristic of its Gram-negative classification. The strain's genetic information is cataloged under the accession UJQV00000000.1, signifying its identification in microbial databases. In summary, Klebsiella pneumoniae strain EuSCAPE_TR100 exemplifies the complexity of microbial life, particularly its ability to adapt to different hosts while posing significant health risks to humans. Its role in various infections highlights the importance of understanding such pathogens within both clinical and ecological contexts, emphasizing the need for vigilant monitoring and control measures in healthcare settings.
