<scp> <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> </scp> infection increases risk of Alzheimer's disease in the <scp>UK</scp> Biobank cohort
Our findings suggest that K. pneumoniae infection may be an independent risk factor for AD. This association underscores the need for further research into infection control and its role in mitigating neurodegenerative disease risk, particularly in populations susceptible to healthcare-associated infections.
