Capsule type defines the capability of Klebsiella pneumoniae in evading Kupffer cell capture in the liver.
Polysaccharide capsule is the main virulence factor of K. pneumoniae, a major pathogen of bloodstream infections in humans. While more than 80 capsular serotypes have been identified in K. pneumoniae, only several serotypes are frequently identified in invasive infections. It is documented that the...
