DOI: 10.1186/s12941-018-0302-9
Abstract: BackgroundThe definition of hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp), traditionally regarded as hypermucoviscosity, is controversial. However, data based on both phenotype (hypermucoviscous) and genetic (aerobactin) criteria are limited.MethodsA retrospective study was conducted in 175 geriatric patients between… read more here.
