Mucoviscosity Determination and Detection of magA and rmpA Genes in Clinical Isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae in Northern Iran
Objective: Klebsiella pneumoniae is an opportunistic pathogen with several pathogenic factors including capsular type and the presence of magA and rmpA genes. The present study aimed to investigate the frequency of magA and rmpA genes and mucoviscosity among clinical isolates of K. pneumoniae, to de...
