Global perspectives on Klebsiella epidemiology and biology: conference report on the KLEBS 2024 symposium

The inaugural Klebsiella Epidemiology and Biology Symposium (KLEBS) took place in November 20-22, 2024, at the Institut Pasteur in Paris. It covered a broad multidisciplinary range of topics from fundamental biology to public health aspects, including epidemiology and public health burden, One Health and clinical aspects, genomics, host-pathogen interactions, vaccines, and therapeutics. This report describes research presented during keynote presentations, plenary sessions and a panel discussion. A recording of the conference is available at: https://www.klebs-2024.conferences-pasteur.org/replay.
