Klebsiella pneumoniae is an extensively studied human pathogen responsible for a wide variety of infections. Dictyostelium discoideum is a model host organism employed to study many facets of the complex interactions between phagocytic cells and bacteria. Historically, a non-pathogenic strain of K. pneumoniae has been used to feed Dictyostelium amoebae, and more recently to study cellular mechanisms involved in bacterial recognition, ingestion and killing. Here we provide the full genome sequence and functional characterization of this non-pathogenic KpGe strain. (C) 2018 Institut Pasteur. Published by Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
