Project description:To evaluate potential off-target effects of the RECKLEEN system, we sequenced the genome of the WT Klebsiella pneumoniae MGH 78578 strain and the Δwzi strain that had been generated using the RECKLEEN system.
Project description:Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of quorum sensing-related luxS gene on the transcription level of Klebsiella pneumoniae FK6768. Methods: We constructed the luxS gene knockout strain of FK6768 and its complement strain, and performed transcriptome sequencing.
Project description:The Antibiotic Resistant Sepsis Pathogens Framework Initiative aims to develop a framework dataset of 5 sepsis pathogens (5 strains each) using an integrated application of genomic, transcriptomic, metabolomic and proteomic technologies. The pathogens included in this initiative are: Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae complex, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes, and Streptococcus pneumoniae. This submission pertains to strain AJ218.

Project description:Klebsiella pneumoniae is an arising threat to human health. However, host immune responses in response to this bacterium remain to be elucidated. The goal of this study was to identify the dominant host immune responses associated with Klebsiella pneumoniae pulmonary infection. Pulmonary mRNA profiles of 6-8-weeks-old BALB/c mice infected with/without Klebsiella pneumoniae were generated by deep sequencing using Illumina Novaseq 6000. qRT–PCR validation was performed using SYBR Green assays. Using KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes) analysis, we identified several immune associated pathways, including complement and coagulation cascades, Toll-like receptor signaling pathway, Rap1 signaling pathway, chemokine signaling pathway, TNF signaling pathway, phagosome and NOD-like receptor signaling pathway, were involved in Klebsiella pneumoniae pulmonary infection. Using ICEPOP (Immune CEll POPulation) analysis, we found that several cell types were involved in the host immune response to Klebsiella pneumoniae pulmonary infection, including dendritic cells, macrophages, monocytes, NK (natural killer) cells, stromal cells. Further, IL-17 chemokines were significantly increased during Klebsiella pneumoniae infection. This study provided evidence for further studying the pathogenic mechanism of Klebsiella pneumoniae pneumonia infection.
Project description:Compared with HKE9, HKE9-M-rpoS (rpoS knockout in hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae strain HKE9) had 624 genes expressed significantly different, among which 148 genes were significantly up-regulated and 476 genes were significantly down-regulated, 586 genes on chromosomes, 10 genes on circular plasmid and 28 genes on linear plasmid; HKE9-C-M-rpoS had 746 genes expressed significantly different, among which 286 genes were significantly up-regulated and 460 genes were significantly down-regulated, 727 genes on chromosomes, 11 genes on circular plasmid and 8 genes on linear plasmid. Compared with HKE9-M-rpoS, HKE9-C-M-rpoS (rpoS complement in strain HKE9-M-rpoS) had 509 genes expressed significantly different, among which 324 genes were significantly up-regulated and 185 genes were significantly down-regulated, 458 genes on chromosomes, 3 genes on circular plasmid and 48 genes on linear plasmid.
