Simple Sequence Repeats Mediate Phase Variation of the Mucoid Phenotype in Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (HVKp) express a thick mucoid capsular polysaccharide which is essential for virulence and survival in the bloodstream but inhibits epithelial adhesion and invasion...

🎉 Delighted to share the first pre-print from my lab where we demonstrate that intergenic DNA repeats mediate phase variation of the mucoid phenotype in hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #klebclub

Starting the journey to Paris in style for Klebsiella Epidemiology and Biology Symposium @institutpasteur.bsky.social.
I'll have a poster & flash talk #188 on #CRISPR vs #AMR plasmids. Looking forward to some cool Klebsiella research! :)

Let's increase #klebclub chatter on 🔵🦋!
Klebsiella aficionados add your handle below and we will build a starter pack.

🔁 to spread the word

I like the custom feeds and how I can pin to home tab. I have #MicroSky pinned. Hoping that #KlebClub joins soon. #bsky

Excited to share this preprint where we’ve used genomic analysis of >3000 genomes to study Klebsiella pneumoniae in a One Health perspective 🦠🔬👩‍💻 #OneHealth #KLEBGAP #KlebClub #IrenLöhr @katholt.bsky.social #NORKLEBNET

#KlebClub planning is back in session with our TWO NEW MEMBERS!!!
Make sure to send a big congrats to Juan Valencia and Tom Stanton!

Composite of the journal header, a map of Europe showing isolate locations, and a phylogenetic tree of Klebsiella pneumoniae

Is it worth sequencing large bacterial species collections? I think we can still learn new things about seemingly well-characterized bacteria such as Klebsiella pneumoniae #klebclub. Happy to share insights from @COMBACTE CARE EURECA which we compared with the EuSCAPE dataset 🧵 1/7

Tomorrow Session 2 of #KlebClub!!

Huge tour-de-force! Cant wait to read all the details #KlebClub
Congrats to the authors from the lab of @josebengoechea.bsky.social
