Klebsiella pneumoniae Capsule Expression Is Necessary for Colonization of Large Intestines of Streptomycin-Treated Mice

The role of the Klebsiella pneumoniae capsular polysaccharide (K antigen) during colonization of the mouse large intestine was assessed with wild-type K. pneumoniae LM21 and its isogenic capsule-defective mutant. When bacterial strains were fed alone to mice, the capsulated bacteria persisted in the...
