Abstract excerpt
Small colony variants (SCVs) in Klebsiella pneumoniae are rare and understudied.

The strain was non-lactose fermenting, non-mucoid, slow-growing, multi-drug resistant, and showed atypical biochemical reactions and biofilm formation. On whole genome sequencing, it showed low-level...
