| Title: | Klebsiella pneumoniae Redistributes Katanin Severing Proteins and Alters Astral Microtubules during Mitosis |
| Abstract: | Klebsiella pneumoniae has become a growing concern within hospitals due to multidrug resistant strains and increasing mortality rates. Recently, we showed that at the subcellular level, K. pneumoniae compromises the integrity of the epithelia by disassembling the microtubule networks of cells through the actions of katanin microtubule severing proteins. In this study, we report on the observation that mitotic cells are targeted by K. pneumoniae and that during infections, the katanin proteins are excluded from the microtubule organizing centers of dividing cells, resulting in the alteration of the microtubule cytoskeleton.
