Klebsiella pneumoniae strain EuSCAPE_FR028

Klebsiella pneumoniae strain EuSCAPE_FR028 is a Gram-negative, facultative anaerobic bacterium that exhibits a rod shape and is capable of mobility due to the presence of flagella. This strain is classified as a chemoheterotroph, indicating it derives its energy from organic compounds. It typically thrives at an optimal temperature of 37°C, falling within the mesophilic temperature range. The cellular arrangement of EuSCAPE_FR028 includes chains, pairs, and singles, and it possesses a biotic relationship as a free-living organism. This strain has a single replicon and is characterized by a double membrane structure, typical of Gram-negative bacteria. Klebsiella pneumoniae strain EuSCAPE_FR028 is associated with a wide range of hosts, including Homo sapiens, Gallus gallus, and several other metazoans and plants. It has significant pathogenic potential in humans, being implicated in various health issues such as bacteremia, urinary tract infections, pneumonia, and other serious conditions like sepsis and meningitis. The strain is particularly known for causing infections such as pyogenic liver abscesses and neonatal sepsis. The ecological insight from the diverse host range of Klebsiella pneumoniae strain EuSCAPE_FR028 suggests that it plays a complex role in both environmental and clinical settings. Its ability to infect multiple hosts indicates that it may have a significant impact on health across species, highlighting the importance of monitoring this pathogen in both human and veterinary medicine.
