Exploring Dangerous Connections between Klebsiella pneumoniae Biofilms and Healthcare-Associated Infections
Healthcare-associated infections (HAI) are a huge public health concern, particularly when the etiological agents are multidrug resistant. The ability of bacteria to develop biofilm is a helpful skill, both to persist within hospital units and to increase antibiotic resistance. Although the links be...
