Unusual Hypermucoviscous Clinical Isolate of Klebsiella pneumoniae with No Known Determinants of Hypermucoviscosity

Unusual Hypermucoviscous Clinical Isolate of Klebsiella pneumoniae with No Known Determinants of Hypermucoviscosity

ABSTRACT Klebsiella pneumoniae can be broadly classified into classical strains that cause drug-resistant, hospital-associated infections and hypervirulent strains that cause invasive, community-acquired, drug-susceptible infections. Hypermucoviscosity in Klebsiella pneumoniae has been associated wi...
