Klebsiella Pneumoniae Capsule Exchange Data with Fitness and Transcriptomic Measurements

Data from a study on the evolution and function of the polysaccharide capsule locus in Klebsiella pneumoniae. The dataset includes results from genetically engineered capsule exchanges, transcriptomics, fitness assays, and evolution experiments. It was authored by Julie Le Bris and last updated on 2026-03-25.

Use Cases

• Analyze the fitness costs of capsule exchange across genetic backgrounds based on fitness assays mentioned in the description
• Model the conservation of virulence traits like hypermucoviscosity and biofilm formation across different capsule types
• Study adaptive trajectories in capsule-costly environments based on evolution experiments described
• Investigate the 'plug-and-play' dynamics of multi-gene systems based on transcriptomic and fitness data

Strengths

• Dataset is small at 9.9 KB, facilitating quick download and inspection.
• Data is shared under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.
• Last update timestamp is precisely recorded as 2026-03-25 17:39:30.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
