Genome-wide screens reveal shared and strain-specific genes that facilitate enteric colonization by Klebsiella pneumoniae

ABSTRACTGastrointestinal (GI) colonization by Klebsiella pneumoniae is a risk factor for subsequent infection as well as transmission to other patients. Additionally, colonization is achieved by many strain types that exhibit high diversity in genetic content. Thus, we aimed to study strain-specific...
