Klebsiella pneumoniae strain 3754STDY6170042

Klebsiella pneumoniae strain 3754STDY6170042 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that exhibits a facultative anaerobic metabolism, functioning as a chemoheterotroph. It typically arranges itself in chains, pairs, or singles and possesses flagella, allowing for mobility. This strain has one replicon and is characterized by a double membrane structure. It thrives optimally at 37°C and fits within a mesophilic temperature range. This strain is predominantly found in association with various hosts, including Homo sapiens, Gallus gallus, and other vertebrates such as Canis lupus familiaris and Sus scrofa. It has a free-living biotic relationship, indicating its ability to exist independently in different environments. However, it is also recognized for its pathogenicity in humans, being responsible for a range of serious health effects, such as bacteremia, urinary tract infections, pneumonia, and sepsis. The diverse host range suggests that Klebsiella pneumoniae strain 3754STDY6170042 is well-adapted to various ecological niches, potentially contributing to its pathogenicity in humans and other species. Its ability to thrive in different environments and cause significant health issues underscores the importance of monitoring and understanding this bacterium in clinical and ecological contexts. This adaptability highlights the challenges of managing infections caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae in a variety of hosts, including humans and livestock, emphasizing the necessity for ongoing research and surveillance.
