Purpose: This study was undertaken to characterise the virulence factors in clinical strains of
Klebsiella pneumoniae and analyse their association with various infections caused and …

Objective: To investigate the presence of rmpA and wcaG virulence genes and Class 1, 2,
and 3 integrons, and to evaluate a relationship between antibiotic resistance and virulence …

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to detect ybtS, entB, mrkD, magA, kfu, iutA, rmpA
and K2 genes in extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-and non-ESBL producing …

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Klebsiella pneumoniae is an important multi-drug-
resistant Gram-negative pathogen, associated with nosocomially acquired infections. This …

Aim of the study To detect virulence factors in 54 Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates from
different clinical specimens: urine (26), blood (11), pus (11), lung (four), cerebrospinal fluid …

Purpose Virulent and resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae strains are considered as one of the
most significant causes of hospital-acquired infections. The present investigation was done …

Many strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae can produce several virulence factors, such as
siderophores, capsules, fimbrial adhesins and antibiotic resistance enzymes, which are …

Background: Klebsiella pneumoniae as an opportunistic pathogen can be the cause of a
range of nosocomial and community-acquired infections. Many virulence factors help these …

Background Klebsiella pneumoniae is armed with a wide range of antibiotic resistance
mechanisms that mostly challenge effective treatment. The aims of the current study were to …

Klebsiella pneumoniae is a multidrug-resistant (MDR) opportunistic pathogen that causes
nosocomial infections. Virulence analysis and molecular typing as powerful approaches can …
