Glucose Induces Resistance to Polymyxins in High-Alcohol-Producing Klebsiella pneumoniae via Increasing Capsular Polysaccharide and Maintaining Intracellular ATP
ABSTRACT High-alcohol-producing K. pneumoniae (HiAlc Kpn) causes nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) by producing excess endogenous alcohol in the gut of patients with NAFLD, using glucose as the main carbon source. The role of glucose in the response of HiAlc Kpn to environmental stresses such...
