Background: The incidence of hypervirulent (hv) carbapenem resistant (CR) K. pneumoniae
(Kp) is increasing globally among various clones and is also responsible for nosocomial …

The convergence of a vulnerable population and a notorious pathogen is devastating, as
seen in the case of sepsis occurring during the first 28 days of life (neonatal period). Sepsis …

Yersinia pestis causes human plague and colonizes both a mammalian host and a flea
vector during its transmission cycle. A key barrier to bacterial infection is the host's ability to …
