Abstract

Klebsiella pneumoniae is an opportunistic pathogen, and its hypervirulent variants cause serious invasive community-acquired infections. A genomic view of K. pneumoniae NTUH-2044 for the carbohydrate phosphotransferase system (PTS) found a putative fructose PTS, namely, the Frw PTS gene cluster.
