BolA has been characterized as an important transcriptional regulator, which is induced in the stationary phase of growth and is often associated with bacterial virulence. This study was initiated to elucidate the role of the BolA in the virulence of K. pneumoniae. Using a mous...
Rapid detection of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) is essential for effective clinical management and surveillance. This study investigated volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as phenotypic biomarkers of carbapenem resistance, with the goal of developing a translationally...
Streptococcus pneumoniae is the primary cause of community-acquired bacterial pneumonia with rates of penicillin and multi-drug resistance exceeding 80% and 40%, respectively. The innate immune response generates a variety of antimicrobial agents to control infection including zinc stres...
