A study of clinical and bacteriological characteristics of Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates in Birjand, South-East Iran: Hypervirulent phenotype, biofilm formation, virulence factors, and antibiotic resistance.

Abstract excerpt

This study assessed antimicrobial susceptibility, biofilm formation, hypervirulence traits, and virulence-related genes in K. pneumoniae. 119 isolates underwent antibiotic susceptibility testing using the Kirby-Bauer method, biofilm assessment through Congo red agar and Microtiter plate assays, PCR for various genes, and the String test for hypermucoviscosity. Clinical characteristics and virulence factors of...
