Klebsiella pneumoniae is an important nosocomial pathogen causing urinary tract, respiratory and blood infections (Podschun & Ullmann, 1998). Immunocompromised individuals such as intensive care unit (ICU) patients and people suffering from severe underlying diseases are frequently susceptible to infection (Sahly et al., 2000). Thus, it is estimated that K. pneumoniae is second only to Escherichia coli as a cause of Gramnegative nosocomial sepsis (Sahly & Podschun, 1997), and regarding bacteraemic cases within ICUs K. pneumoniae has been identified as the most common Gram-negative agent in recent studies (Ben Jaballah et al., 2007; Couto et al., 2007; Michalopoulos et al., 2011). As a ubiquitous organism, K. pneumoniae is a normal resident of the human gastrointestinal tract and nosocomial transmission from this reservoir is considered to occur mainly by personal contact and through inappropriately decontaminated hospital equipment (Montgomerie, 1979).

The newly discovered ClpK protein strongly promotes survival of Klebsiella pneumoniae biofilm subjected to heat shock
