Between four and eight weeks of age, piglets showed a prominent increase of IgM binding to K. pneumoniae. Immunglobulin M and complement were crucial for killing of a serum-resistant iucA+ porcine K. pneumoniae strain at eight weeks of age. Flow cytometry analysis confirmed induction of phagocytosis and oxidative burst mediated by serum samples of 8-week-old piglets. Based on our in vitro findings we propose that many porcine iucA+ rmpA- K. pneumoniae strains have the ability to cause bacteremia in young piglets in association with
