The acquisition of rmpADC can increase virulence of classical Klebsiella pneumoniae in the absence of other hypervirulence-associated genes

Stephen M. Salisbury, Taryn A. Miner, Leslie A. Kent…·Kimberly A. Walker

This study investigates whether the rmpADC operon alone can increase virulence in classical Klebsiella pneumoniae strains, finding that HMV is necessary but not sufficient for hypervirulence.

Anaerobic microbiota facilitate pathogen access to the airway epithelium in a novel co-culture model of colonization

Patrick J. Moore, Leslie A. Kent, Ryan C. Hunter

This study shows anaerobic microbiota enhance Pseudomonas aeruginosa colonization of airway epithelium by degrading mucins and inducing inflammation in a novel co-culture model.
