Hypermucoviscosity, rmpA, and aerobactin are associated with community-acquired Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteremic isolates causing liver abscess in Singapore

open access: yesJournal of Microbiology, Immunology and Infection, 2019
Introduction: This retrospective study investigated the clinical etiology of community-acquired bacteremic Klebsiella pneumoniae infections, and characterized laboratory and genetic markers which may be associated with primary liver abscess (PLA ...

Genomic Epidemiology of Multidrug-Resistant Clinical Klebsiella pneumoniae From Pakistan. [PDF]

open access: yesMicrobiologyopen
Study design and bioinformatics workflow. Cohort selection and uniform workflow. ABSTRACT Background Antimicrobial‐resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae is a major clinical threat in Pakistan and the wider South Asian region, where genomic surveillance remains limited. We analyzed 122 publicly available human clinical K.

Aerobactin in human and animal disease.

open access: yes, 1988
Aerobactin in human and animal disease Mark Roberts The aerobactin iron uptake system is specified by a cluster of five genes, four for the synthesis of the siderophore aerobactin and the fifth for its cognate outer membrane protein receptor.

Genomic Analysis of Multidrug-Resistant Hypervirulent (Hypermucoviscous) Klebsiella pneumoniae Strain Lacking the Hypermucoviscous Regulators (rmpA/rmpA2)

open access: yesAntibiotics, 2022
Hypervirulent K. pneumoniae (hvKP) strains possess distinct characteristics such as hypermucoviscosity, unique serotypes, and virulence factors associated with high pathogenicity.

Iron-Utilization System in Vibrio vulnificus M2799

open access: yesMarine Drugs, 2021
Vibrio vulnificus is a Gram-negative pathogenic bacterium that causes serious infections in humans and requires iron for growth. A clinical isolate, V. vulnificus M2799, secretes a catecholate siderophore, vulnibactin, that captures ferric ions from the ...

Aerobactin genes in Shigella spp [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Bacteriology, 1984
Aerobactin, a hydroxamate iron transport compound, is synthesized by some, but not all, Shigella species. Conjugation and hybridization studies indicated that the genes for the synthesis and transport of aerobactin are linked and are found on the chromosome of Shigella flexneri, S. boydii, and S. sonnei. The genes were not found in S. dysenteriae.

Production of the siderophore aerobactin by a halophilic pseudomonad [PDF]

open access: yesApplied and Environmental Microbiology, 1991
A bacterial strain, isolated from a cyanobacterial culture, was identified as Pseudomonas sp. strain X40. Under iron-limiting conditions, the Pseudomonas sp. produced aerobactin, a dihydroxamate siderophore previously found only in the family Enterobacteriaceae. Aerobactin was identified by electrophoretic mobility, spectrophotometric titration, proton

Molecular genetic analysis of aerobactin receptors.

open access: yes, 1996
Some Enterobacteriaceae produce a low molecular weight compound, aerobactin, with a high affinity for ferric iron. The genes encoding the aerobactin system have been identified in plasmid or chromosomal DNA; they are arranged in an operon consisting of ...

Aerobactin Seems To Be a Promising Marker Compared With Unstable RmpA2 for the Identification of Hypervirulent Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae: In Silico and In Vitro Evidence

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2021
BackgroundThe incidence of hypervirulent (hv) carbapenem-resistant (CR) Klebsiella pneumoniae (Kp) is increasing globally among various clones and is also responsible for nosocomial infections.

Novel Aerobactin Receptor in Klebsiella pneumoniae [PDF]

open access: yesMicrobiology, 1989
Several Klebsiella pneumoniae strains which produced enterochelin but not aerobactin were nevertheless sensitive to cloacin DF13. In contrast, a strain of serotype K1:O1 which produced both siderophores was cloacin-resistant. Loss by mutation of the O1 but not K1 antigen rendered this strain cloacin-sensitive, indicating that the O1 antigen prevented ...
