2019-06-21
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> Here we proposed the hypothesis that hypervirulent colistin resistant K.pneumoniae (ColR-Kp) exhibit high number of virulence factors and have enhanced survival capacity against neutrophil activity. We studied virulence genes of ColR-Kp isolates and neutrophil response in 142 patients with invasive infections. The patients infected with hypervirulent ST101 and ST395 ColR-Kp had higher 30-day mo...
