Effects of gallic acid on capsular polysaccharide biosynthesis in Klebsiella pneumoniae
Background: Klebsiella pneumoniae is a gram-negative opportunistic pathogen that causes diseases mostly in immunocompromised individuals. Recently, hypervirulent K. pneumoniae strains also cause severe disease in healthy individuals. Capsular polysaccharide (CPS) is the major virulence determinant i...
