Animal Model To Study Klebsiella pneumoniae Gastrointestinal Colonization and Host-to-Host Transmission
Open accessPublished version of a preprint
Abstract
An important yet poorly understood facet of the life cycle of a successful pathogen is host-to-host transmission. Hospital-acquired infections (HAI) resulting from the transmission of drug-resistant pathogens affect hundreds of millions of patients worldwide. Klebsiella pneumoniae , a Gram-negative bacterium, is notorious for causing HAI, with many of these infections difficult to treat, as K. pneumoniae has become multidrug resistant. Epidemiological studies suggest that K. pneumoniae host-to-host transmission requires close contact and generally occurs through the fecal-oral route.

Klebsiella pneumoniae is naturally present in the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts of humans and has a lower occurrence in animals, possibly due to diet, competition with other bacteria, or genetic virulence factors.
“Klebsiella pneumoniae is naturally present in the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts of humans and has a lower occurrence in animals, possibly due to diet, competition with other bacteria, or genetic virulence factors [70,71,72].”
From A Systematic Review on Antimicrobial Resistance in Ghana from a One Health Perspective (2024) · cites this paper as [72]
The Introduction (page not provided) identifies the oropharynx and gastrointestinal tract as natural sites of colonization, and the Discussion reports gastrointestinal colonization in mice. The paper does not compare occurrence in humans and animals or attribute a lower occurrence in animals to diet, bacterial competition, or genetic virulence factors; it discusses microbiota and genetic variation in relation to colonization, not that comparison.

“Klebsiella pneumoniae is naturally present in the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts of humans and has a lower occurrence in animals, possibly due to diet, competition with other bacteria, or genetic virulence factors [70–72].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
