Chemical compound and disease context of Klebsiella

 

Biological context of Klebsiella

  • Pentitol metabolism in Klebsiella aerogenes is encoded by continuous ribitol (rbt) and D-arabitol (dal) operons transcribed in bipolar fashion and sandwiched between long stretches of homologous DNA [13].
  • We have determined the nucleotide sequences of two genes from Klebsiella pneumoniae, nifA, the nif-specific activator of transcription and ntrC, the bifunctional regulatory protein involved in 'nitrogen control'. These sequences differ significantly from those previously published [14].
  • Seven pilus chaperone sequences from Escherichia coli, Haemophilus influenzae and Klebsiella pneumoniae were aligned and their consensus sequence was superimposed onto the known three-dimensional structure of PapD, a representative member of the family [15].
  • OBJECTIVE: To describe the epidemiology, antimicrobial susceptibility, and control of widespread ceftazidime-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae infections in a North American hospital and circumstances that led to delayed detection [16].
  • Amino acid sequence of the Fv region of a human monoclonal IgM (protein WEA) with antibody activity against 3,4-pyruvylated galactose in Klebsiella polysaccharides K30 and K33 [17].
 

Anatomical context of Klebsiella

 

Gene context of Klebsiella

  • To test this, we used a model of Klebsiella pneumoniae lung infection in mice genetically deficient in IL-17R or in mice overexpressing a soluble IL-17R [23].
  • The cloned Azotobacter genes also complemented Klebsiella pneumoniae mutants and hybridized to K. pneumoniae ntrA, ntrC and glnA gene probes [24].
  • A groEL mutant of E.coli, transformed with the Klebsiella pneumoniae nif gene cluster, failed to accumulate nitrogenase components [Govezensky et al. (1991) J. Bacteriol., 173, 6339-6346] [25].
  • In contrast to TLR4-deficient mice, SPRET/Ei mice resist both LPS and sepsis induced with Klebsiella pneumoniae [26].
  • Our studies indicate that 1) IL-10 is produced during Klebsiella pneumonia; and 2) inhibition of IL-10 bioactivity in vivo results in enhanced bacterial clearance, increased expression of proinflammatory cytokines, and prolonged survival [27].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Klebsiella

  • 74 overlapping peptides of varying lengths from Klebsiella pneumoniae nitrogenase reductase (residues 181-199) and from the HLA B27.1 molecule (residues 65-85) were synthesized and tested by ELISA against sera from HLA B27+ ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients, and sera from HLA B27+ and HLA B27- healthy first-degree relatives [28].
  • Here we have studied the protein from Azotobacter vinelandii and Klebsiella pneumoniae with Mössbauer and EPR spectroscopies, with the following results: when the MoFe protein is oxidized by addition of stoichiometric amounts (6-8 equivalents) of dissolved thionin, the well characterized P-cluster state Pox results [29].
  • However, these Klebsiella polysaccharides did not react in immunodiffusion with horse or with rabbit pneumococcal 19F and 19A typing antisera [30].
  • Cloning and sequence analysis of gyrA gene of Klebsiella pneumoniae [31].
  • Crystallization of a DNA and N-acetylserine binding fragment (residues 1 to 233) of Klebsiella aerogenes CysB protein, a member of the LysR family [32].
