Genomic and phenotypic heterogeneity of Klebsiella aerogenes in a single host: plasmid loss and tissue-specific virulence gene expression during host adaptation.
Klebsiella aerogenes is an opportunistic pathogen increasingly associated with healthcare-associated infections and severe respiratory complications. However, it's in vivo adaptation during host colonization remains poorly understood. We characterized three clonal K. aerogenes ST93 isolates sequentially recovered on da...
