Klebsiella pneumoniae Biofilms and Their Role in Disease Pathogenesis

The ability to form biofilms is a crucial virulence trait for several microorganisms, including Klebsiella pneumoniae – a Gram-negative encapsulated bacterium often associated with nosocomial infections. It is estimated that 65-80% of bacterial infections are biofilm related. Biofilms are complex ba...
