Virulence of silver-resistant mutant of Klebsiella pneumoniae in burn wound model.

Folia microbiologica - 1 Jan 1992

Gupta L K, Jindal R, Beri H K, Chhibber S

Abstract excerpt

A silver-resistant mutant of Klebsiella pneumoniae B-5 was produced by passaging in nutrient broth containing graded concentrations of silver nitrate up to 150 ppm. The development of silver resistance in the strain resulted in rough colonies, decrease in cell size, carbohydrate content and change in klebocin pattern. The virulence of the AgR strain as checked by the burn wound model decreased as the mutant could...
