Tuesday, September 19, 2023

Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) causes a wide range of infections, including pneumonia, urinary tract infections, bacteremia and liver abscesses, and mainly infects immunocompromised people.

Key Points: 
  • Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) causes a wide range of infections, including pneumonia, urinary tract infections, bacteremia and liver abscesses, and mainly infects immunocompromised people.
  • However, the emergence and spread of hypervirulent and multi-resistant strains of this bacterium have recently extended its potential targets to people with no health problems.
  • In Western countries, we estimate that between 3% and 5% of pneumonias are linked to an infection caused by K. pneumoniae.
  • Our anti-Klebsiella phages will thus complement an already extended phage portfolio for the clinical indications we are targeting, and reinforce our ability to efficiently address a broad spectrum of resistant bacterial infections.”
