The PTS Components in <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> Affect Bacterial Capsular Polysaccharide Production and Macrophage Phagocytosis Resistance

The PTS Components in <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> Affect Bacterial Capsular Polysaccharide Production and Macrophage Phagocytosis Resistance

Capsular polysaccharide (CPS) is a crucial virulence factor for <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> infection. We demonstrated an association of CPS production with two phosphoenolpyruvate:carbohydrate phosphotransferase systems (PTSs). Deficiency of <i>crr</i>, encoding enzyme IIA...
