Laboratory analysis demonstrates microaerobic suppression of hypermucoviscosity in Klebsiella pneumoniae, indicating oxygen availability regulates virulence phenotypes.
Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp) causes invasive community-acquired infections in healthy individuals, and hypermucoviscosity (HMV) is the main phenotype associated with hvKp. This study investigates the impact of microaerobic environment availability on the mucoviscosity of K. pneumoniae.
