Complement resistance mechanisms by multi-drug resistant Klebsiella pneumonia
The aim of this project is to characterize complement evasion molecules in the opportunistic bacterium Klebsiella pneumoniae.
This project has two main objectives:
- Identify Klebsiella proteins (either secreted or expressed in the outer membrane) that interfere with complement activation.
- Decipher how complement-resistant Klebsiella strains withstand direct killing by the complement system.
