Capsular polysaccharide (CPS) is important for its virulence. Among 79 capsular (K) types discovered thus far, K57 is often associated with PLA. Here, we report the identification of a K57 variant. <jats:italic>Cps<\/jats:italic> gene locus sequencing revealed differences between the K57 reference strain 4425\/51 (Ref-K57) and a variant, the PLA isolate A1142. While Ref-K57 <jats:italic>cps<\/jats:italic> contained <jats:italic>orf13<\/jats:italic> encoding a putative acetyltransferase, the insertion of a putative transposase-encoding gene at this position was detected in A1142. This variation was detected in other K57 clinical strains. Biochemical analyses indicated that A1142 was deficient in CPS acetylation. Genetic replacement and complementation verified that <jats:italic>orf13<\/jats:italic> was responsible for CPS acetylation. Acetylation increased CPS immunoreactivity to antiserum and enhanced <jats:italic>K. pneumoniae<\/jats:italic> induction of pro-inflammatory cytokines through JNK and MAPK signaling. While acetylation diminished the serum resistance of bacteria, it promoted adhesion to intestinal epithelial cells possibly via increasing production of type I fimbriae. In conclusion, acetylation-mediated capsular variation in K57 was observed. Capsular acetylation contributed to the variety and antigenic diversity of CPS, influenced its biological activities and was involved in <jats:italic>K. pneumoniae<\/jats:italic>-host interactions. These findings have implications for vaccine design and pathogenicity of <jats:italic>K. pneumoniae<\/jats:italic>.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1038\/srep31946","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,8,23]],"date-time":"2016-08-23T09:39:32Z","timestamp":1471945172000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":44,"title":["Identification of a capsular variant and characterization of capsular acetylation in Klebsiella pneumoniae PLA-associated type K57"],"prefix":"10.1038","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"Chun-Ru","family":"Hsu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chun-Hsing","family":"Liao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tzu-Lung","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Han-Ru","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Feng-Ling","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pei-Fang","family":"Hsieh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shih-Hsiung","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jin-Town","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,8,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"BFsrep31946_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"160","DOI":"10.3201\/eid0802.010025","volume":"8","author":"WC Ko","year":"2002","unstructured":"Ko, W.
