Klebsiella pneumoniae strain EuSCAPE_TR184

Klebsiella pneumoniae strain EuSCAPE_TR184 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that exhibits a facultative anaerobic metabolism and is classified as a chemoheterotroph. This strain is capable of existing in various forms, including chains, pairs, and singles, and demonstrates mobility due to the presence of flagella. It thrives optimally at a temperature of 37°C and falls within the mesophilic temperature range. The strain is associated with humans (Homo sapiens) and a range of other hosts, including domestic animals like Gallus gallus (chickens), Sus scrofa (pigs), and Canis lupus familiaris (dogs), as well as various organisms from the Metazoa and Viridiplantae kingdoms. Its biotic relationship is characterized as free-living, indicating its ability to survive independently of a host. Klebsiella pneumoniae strain EuSCAPE_TR184 is known for its pathogenicity in humans, contributing to a wide array of health issues. These include bacteremia, urinary tract infections, pneumonia, and intra-abdominal infections, among others. The strain's ability to cause severe health complications, including neonatal sepsis and septicemia, highlights its clinical significance. Given its diverse host range and the variety of infections it can cause, this strain is a notable example of the complex interactions between pathogenic bacteria and their hosts. Its presence in both human and non-human hosts illustrates the importance of monitoring such organisms in healthcare and environmental contexts to understand their ecological impacts and potential risks to health.
