Serotyping of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Its Relation with Capsule-Associated Virulence Genes, Antimicrobial Resistance Pattern, and Clinical Infections: A Descriptive Study in Medical Practice

Abstract excerpt

Objective: Klebsiella pneumoniae , one of the clinical superbugs, causes diverse infections because of its variable capsular antigens. This study focused on K. pneumoniae and aimed to assess any correlation between capsular serotype, capsule-associated virulence genes, and evaluate its resistance to conventional antibiotics in order to gain insight into any regional differences. Materials and Methods: A total of...
