Discovery of monoclonal antibodies cross-reactive to novel subserotypes of K. pneumoniae O3

Abstract Klebsiella pneumoniae is responsible for nosocomial infections causing significant morbidity and mortality. Treatment of newly emerging multi-drug resistant strains is hampered due to severely limited antibiotic choices. Passive immunization targeting LPS O-antigens has been proposed as an...
