Wzi and CPS independently trigger sustained neutrophil recruitment through CXCL1 upregulation, resulting in pulmonary barrier damage and enhanced bacterial systemic dissemination for encapsulated K. pneumoniae. Notably, wzi sequence polymorphisms significantly influenced serum resistance independent of CPS, with hvKP-associated alleles conferring the highest resistance.
Countstar Connection
A Countstar instrument supplied cell-count measurements for the study's cell samples before downstream analysis in the 2026 Virulence study.
