πΊπ¦ Ukraine war victims: The unexpectedly high levels of resistance in #Klebsiella pneumoniae are a cause for great worry
π Scientists from Lund University in Sweden collaborated with microbiologists in Ukraine to investigate bacterial resistance in war-wounded patients treated in hospitals. The findings indicate that a significant number of patients were afflicted with bacteria displaying an exceptionally high level of #antibiotic #resistance.

- #capsule is a major determinant of host tropism in #Klebsiella #phages.
Nice study.
Since the outbreak of the #war in #Ukraine, certain hospital #pathogens that are #resistant to many #antibiotics have been detected much more frequently in #German #hospitals. The pathogen #Klebsiella #pneumoniae is also resistant to the reserve antibiotics of #carbapenems due to a combination of two #enzymes.

Definitely a team effort to get this one out. :)
We've isolated a novel phage that can disrupt established biofilms ... but it doesn't encode a depolymerase or exhibit depolymerase activity. I think this one is going to keep us busy for a long time.
