Characterization of Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (Hv-Kp): Correlation of Virulence with Antimicrobial Susceptibility
Introduction. Hypervirulent K. pneumoniae (Hv-Kp) is an emerging variant of classical K. pneumoniae (C-Kp) that exhibits hypermucoviscocity and possesses multiple siderophores as virulence factors and is known to cause serious debilitating infections in immunocompetent individuals. Aim and objective...
