Molecular response to the non-lytic peptide bac7 (1-35) triggers disruption of Klebsiella pneumoniae biofilm

Robert L. Beckman, Berta Martinez, Flor Z. Santiago, Gabriela N. Echeverria, Bruno V. Pinheiro, Marcelo D. T. Torres, Logan Suits, Shantal Garcia, Paeton L. Wantuch, César de la Fuente‐Núñez, Prahathees J. Eswara, David A. Rosen, Renee M. Fleeman

This paper investigates the anti-biofilm mechanism of bac7 (1-35) against Klebsiella pneumoniae, showing it disrupts bacterial membranes and ribosomal function, leading to biofilm collapse and reduced dissemination.

Antibody responses in Klebsiella pneumoniae bloodstream infection: a cohort study

Wontae Hwang, Paeton L. Wantuch, Biana Bernshtein, Julia A. Zhiteneva, Damien Slater, Kian Robert Hutt Vater, Sushmita Sridhar, Elizabeth Oliver, David J Roach, Sowmya R. Rao, Sarah E. Turbett, Cory J. Knoot, Christian M. Harding, Mohammed Nurul Amin, Alan S. Cross, , Jason B. Harris

This study examines antibody responses to Klebsiella pneumoniae OPS antigens in bloodstream infections, finding high immunogenicity and cross-reactivity but also capsule-mediated inhibition of antibody function.
