Klebsiella pneumoniae strain EuSCAPE_TR197

Klebsiella pneumoniae strain EuSCAPE_TR197 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that is classified as a chemoheterotroph and a facultative anaerobe. This strain can be found in various habitats associated with hosts, including Homo sapiens and several other organisms such as Gallus gallus, Canis lupus familiaris, and Sus scrofa, among others. The bacterium typically arranges itself in chains, pairs, or singles, and possesses flagella, allowing for mobility. EuSCAPE_TR197 is mesophilic, with an optimal growth temperature of 37°C, making it well-suited for survival within the human body, where it can cause a wide range of health issues. These include bacteremia, urinary tract infections, pneumonia, and various intra-abdominal infections, among others. The pathogenicity of this strain primarily affects humans but also has implications for other species, indicating a broader ecological impact. Notably, Klebsiella pneumoniae strain EuSCAPE_TR197 is nonsporulating and has a single replicon with two membranes. Its ability to thrive in diverse environments and cause significant health issues underscores its role as an opportunistic pathogen in both clinical and ecological contexts. The presence of this strain in various hosts highlights the interconnectedness of microbial populations and their potential effects on different organisms, particularly in terms of health and disease dynamics.
