Klebsiella pneumoniae strain EuSCAPE_TR130

Klebsiella pneumoniae strain EuSCAPE_TR130 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that exhibits a facultative anaerobic metabolism, functioning as a chemoheterotroph. This strain is characterized by its ability to exist in various cellular arrangements, including chains, pairs, and singles. It possesses flagella, enabling mobility, and has a mesophilic temperature range, with an optimal growth temperature of 37°C. This strain is primarily associated with a wide range of hosts, including Homo sapiens, Gallus gallus, and other Metazoa, indicating its versatile ecological niche. Notably, Klebsiella pneumoniae is recognized for its pathogenicity in humans, being implicated in numerous health issues such as bacteremia, urinary tract infections, pneumonia, and various intra-abdominal infections. This highlights the strain's significant clinical relevance, particularly in hospital settings where it can cause severe infections like sepsis and neonatal sepsis. Moreover, Klebsiella pneumoniae strain EuSCAPE_TR130 is nonsporulating and has a biotic relationship that is classified as free-living. The bacterium contains one replicon and is surrounded by two membranes, consistent with its classification as a Gram-negative organism. The ecological insight from this data suggests that Klebsiella pneumoniae strain EuSCAPE_TR130's adaptability to various hosts and environments, alongside its pathogenic potential, underscores the importance of monitoring this bacterium in both clinical and environmental contexts to mitigate its impact on public health.
