Identification of hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae carrying terW gene by MacConkey-potassium tellurite medium in the general population
24 Aug 2022
Abstract excerpt
Objectives To establish a MacConkey-potassium tellurium medium-based method for selectively culturing terW gene-positive Klebsiella pneumoniae (KP), to evaluate its performance and apply it to identifying particular clonal hypervirulent KP (hvKP) strains in epidemiological surveillance.
