Real-Time PCR and Statistical Analyses of acrAB and ramA Expression in Clinical Isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae

Abstract excerpt

Clinical isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae were tested for a correlation between tigecycline MIC and expression of ramA by using real-time PCR. At MICs of 4 and 8 microg/ml, the expression of ramA was statistically significantly different from MICs of 2 microg/ml or less, supporting the tigecycline susceptibility breakpoint of
