Klebsiella is a genus of Gram-negative, encapsulated, facultatively anaerobic bacteria in the Enterobacteriaceae family. With 141 file mentions across the vault, Klebsiella is one of the most frequently referenced opportunistic pathogens. The dominant species is klebsie…
A Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen and member of the ESKAPE group of antibiotic-resistant priority pathogens. K. pneumoniae deploys multiple nickel-dependent enzymes for virulence and relies on the dual-function metallophore yersiniabactin for both iron and nickel s…
A Gram-negative, aerobic, non-fermenting coccobacillus and a member of the ESKAPE group of priority pathogens (Enterococcus, Staphylococcus, Klebsiella, Acinetobacter, Pseudomonas, Enterobacter). Acinetobacter baumannii is among the most problematic nosocomial pathogens…
A family of Gram-negative, facultative anaerobic Gammaproteobacteria that includes many of the most important human pathogens: escherichia coli, klebsiella pneumoniae, salmonella typhimurium, shigella flexneri, yersinia pestis, proteus mirabilis, Morganella, and Serrati…
Proteobacteria (recently reclassified as Pseudomonadota) is the phylum that signals trouble. In a healthy adult gut, Proteobacteria comprise less than 1% of the community. When they bloom to 10-50% of the microbiome, it marks a fundamental ecological shift -- the collap…
