A strategy for controlling Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae: inhibition of ClpV expression by Wenke Liu, Dan Wang, Qiangxing He, Shiwen Cao, Jiaxin Cao, Huajie Zhao, Junwei Cui, Fan Yang

“…The clpV deletion significantly changed the transcriptome profile of hvKP, inhibited the expression of virulence factors, and decreased the lethality of hvKP against Galleria mellonella larvae. In vitro experiments showed that lithocholic acid could inhibit the expression of the clpV gene and reduce the virulence of hvKP. …”
