Evaluation of an optimal agar medium for detecting hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae using string test

2024-06-27

Abstract excerpt

1. Abstract The string test is a screening method for detecting hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp). Agar media are used for string tests; however, the effect of the type of media on the test results remains unclear. We aimed to determine the optimal agar medium and cutoff value for the string test. We performed the string test on 99 Klebsiella strains using different agar media: sheep blood, chocolate, Dr...
