Clinical and Molecular Characteristics and Antibacterial Strategies of Klebsiella pneumoniae in Pyogenic Infection.

Treatment of Klebsiella pneumoniae causing pyogenic infections is challenging. The clinical and molecular characteristics of causing pyogenic infections are poorly understood, and antibacterial treatment strategies are limited. We analyzed the clinical and molecular characteristics of K.

Treponema pallidum outer membrane proteins: current status and prospects.

The outer membrane proteins (OMPs) of Treponema pallidum subsp. pallidum (T. pallidum), the etiological agent of the sexually transmitted disease syphilis, have long been a hot research topic.

Subversion of the immune response of human pathogenic spirochetes.

Spirochetes are a large group of prokaryotes that originated from Gram-negative bacteria and are capable of causing a variety of human and animal infections. However, the pathogenesis of spirochetes remains unclear, as different types of spirochetes play pathogenic roles through different pathogenic substances and mechanisms. To survive and spread in the host, spirochetes have evolved complicated strategies to evade host immune responses.
