SdiA as a Repressor of Phagocytosis and Intracellular Survival in Klebsiella pneumoniae: Insights from Macrophage and Amoeba Models

This paper shows that SdiA in Klebsiella pneumoniae represses phagocytosis and intracellular survival, with mutant strains being more susceptible to phagocytosis but showing increased intracellular fitness and host cell death.

Regulatory effects on virulence and phage susceptibility revealed by sdiA mutation in Klebsiella pneumoniae

This study investigates the role of SdiA in K. pneumoniae virulence, showing it affects biofilm formation, phage susceptibility, and serum resistance, with C6-HSL modulating these effects.
