Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Klebsiella pneumoniae is an important multi-drug-resistant Gram-negative pathogen, associated with nosocomially acquired infections. This study aimed to determine the genotypic and phenotypic characterization of Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates and to correlate the antibiotic resistance with the presence of virulence genes revealed by molecular genotypic testing in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia....
