Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p><italic>Klebsiella pneumoniae</italic> has been identified as one of the most important opportunistic pathogens responsible for nosocomial infections. Antibiotic resistance and ability to form biofilms are the two main factors involved in the persistence of infections. Conventional detection methods involve culture isolation and identification followed by biofilm assay that takes 48–72...
