Klebsiella pneumoniae strain EuSCAPE_TR302

Klebsiella pneumoniae strain EuSCAPE_TR302 is a significant Gram-negative bacterium categorized as a facultative anaerobe and a chemoheterotroph. This strain exhibits a rod-shaped morphology and can be found in various arrangements, including singles, pairs, and chains. It possesses flagella, indicating motility, and thrives optimally at 37°C, placing it within the mesophilic temperature range. This strain is notably associated with a wide range of hosts, primarily Homo sapiens, but also includes domestic animals and other metazoans such as Gallus gallus, Sus scrofa, and Danio rerio, among others. Klebsiella pneumoniae is recognized for its pathogenicity in humans, where it is implicated in multiple health concerns, including bacteremia, urinary tract infections, pneumonia, and various intra-abdominal infections. The broad spectrum of diseases associated with this strain highlights its clinical significance, particularly in severe conditions like sepsis and neonatal infections. In its ecological niche, Klebsiella pneumoniae strain EuSCAPE_TR302 exhibits a free-living biotic relationship while being host-associated. Its ability to inhabit diverse environments and infect multiple species underlines its adaptability and potential role in both health and disease across different biological systems. Understanding the pathogenic mechanisms and ecological roles of such strains is crucial for managing infections and developing targeted therapeutic strategies.
