Abstract excerpt

assays, respectively. Sensitivity of 10 genomic equivalents was demonstrated for each assay. Ultimately, the diagnostic assay developed in this study can improve our understanding of the significance of KpSC members, which is important when investigating their routes of transmission and epidemiology.
