Klebsiella pneumoniae strain EuSCAPE_TR112

Klebsiella pneumoniae strain EuSCAPE_TR112 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium characterized by its facultative anaerobic metabolism and chemoheterotrophic energy source. This strain can be found in various habitats associated with hosts, including Homo sapiens and several animal species such as Gallus gallus, Sus scrofa, and Danio rerio. One notable feature of this bacterium is its cellular arrangement, which can be observed as chains, pairs, or singles. EuSCAPE_TR112 possesses flagella, enabling motility, and has a mesophilic temperature range, with an optimal growth temperature of 37°C. The bacterium is nonsporulating and has a single replicon and two membranes. Klebsiella pneumoniae is recognized for its pathogenicity in humans, being implicated in a wide range of health issues. These include serious conditions such as bacteremia, urinary tract infections, pneumonia, intra-abdominal infections, and sepsis, among others. The strain's ability to cause infections in both humans and a variety of animal hosts highlights its adaptability and potential for zoonotic transmission. Understanding the ecological role of Klebsiella pneumoniae strain EuSCAPE_TR112 is crucial as it sheds light on its interactions within host-associated environments. Its pathogenic nature, coupled with the wide variety of potential hosts, indicates a significant impact on public health and underscores the importance of monitoring and managing infections caused by this bacterium in both human and veterinary contexts.
