LIPOPOLYSACCHARIDE O-ANTIGEN PROMOTES PERSISTENT MURINE BACTEREMIA

Shock, 2007
Bacteremia is a common complication of pneumonia with Klebsiella pneumoniae. In the previous work, we have shown that the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) O-antigen in K. pneumoniae O1:K2 contributes to lethality during pneumonia in part by promoting bacteremia. In the current work, we studied an O-antigen-deficient K.

As our knowledge progresses, it appears that chronic infection may actually predispose the host to mild, insidious nonspecific manifestations or induce, in selected instances, severe diseases.
