Our @AMIposts funded summer placement student has done a huge amount of work on our collection of veterinary Klebsiella oxytoca strains (full literature review, Galleria assays, bioinformatics). Looking forward to going through all the data in the coming weeks. What I've seen so far is promising, though. :)
