Identifying_infection_relevant_and_stress_resistance_genes_in_K__pneumoniae
Klebsiella pneumoniae (Kpn) is an emerging opportunistic pathogen that causes a variety of infections, including pneumonia, liver abscesses, and chronic infections of burns or wounds. Understanding pathogenesis of Kpn is confounded by the variety of diseases associated with this organism, and by the diversity of clinically-relevant strains. We have used Tradis to investigate gene essentiality in Kpn.  This data is part of a pre-publication release. For information on the proper use of pre-publication data shared by the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute (including details of any publication moratoria), please see http://www.sanger.ac.uk/datasharing/

Understanding pathogenesis of Kpn is confounded by the variety of diseases associated with this organism, and by the diversity of clinically-relevant strains. We have used Tradis to investigate gene essentiality and in vitro fitness requirements in selected Kpn strains.
