Potential virulence of Klebsiella sp. isolates from enteral diets [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2015 We aimed to evaluate the potential virulence of Klebsiella isolates from enteral diets in hospitals, to support nosocomial infection control measures, especially among critical-care patients.

Cloning of the aerobactin-mediated iron assimilation system of plasmid ColV [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1983 The high-affinity iron assimilation system of plasmid ColV-K30 was cloned on the vector plasmid pPlac. Plasmid pABN1 was isolated by means of sensitivity to cloacin, a bacteriocin using the same outer membrane receptor as ferric aerobactin. Restriction maps were determined for this plasmid and for a subclone, pABN5. Plasmid pABN1 codes for the complete

Prediction of DtxR regulon: Identification of binding sites and operons controlled by Diphtheria toxin repressor in [PDF]
, 2004 Background The diphtheria toxin repressor, DtxR, of Corynebacterium diphtheriae has been shown to be an iron-activated transcription regulator that controls not only the expression of diphtheria toxin but also of iron uptake genes.

Activity and specificity of a mouse monoclonal antibody to ferric aerobactin [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1992 We isolated a monoclonal antibody directed against the ferric complex of aerobactin purified from Escherichia coli KH576. This antibody, which we designated MAb AERO1, was identified as an immunoglobulin G, subtype 2. A competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay with MAb AERO1 had a limit of 10 nM for the detection of purified ferric aerobactin and ...

Journal of Extracellular Biology, Volume 5, Issue 4, April 2026.ABSTRACT Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) has become a global threat due to the convergence of carbapenem resistance and hypervirulence. Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) play important roles in bacterial pathogenicity, yet their functional coordination with strains remains unclear.
