Funded Activity Summary

Klebsiella pneumoniae (KP) is an important pathogen associated with high mortality and antimicrobial resistance. Upon infection, the host activates a sophisticated immune response, but there is evidence that KP is capable of modifying this response. Here I will take advantage of cutting-edge genome sequencing to understand the interactions between KP and host immunity. These studies will provide a pathway for the development of new therapeutic strategies to combat multiresistant infections.
