Influence of the polysaccharide capsule on virulence and fitness of Klebsiella pneumoniae by Lisa Zierke, Rodi Mourad, Thomas P. Kohler, Mathias Müsken, Sven Hammerschmidt

“…The CPS is therefore crucial for both escaping detection by the immune system and enhancing the virulence potential.MethodsIn this study, we generated a non-encapsulated mutant (Kpn2146∆wza) to observe how the CPS interferes with K. pneumoniae adhesion, survival in blood, and invasiveness in an experimental infection model.ResultsInfection of A549 lung epithelial cells showed similar adherence levels for the wild-type and non-capsulated strain, while our data showed a moderately higher internalization of Kpn2146Δwza when compared to the wild-type. …”
