ABSTRACT Background Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumonia (hvKP) has been considered due to severe infections such as pyogenic liver abscess, pneumonia, meningitis, endophthalmitis and necrotizing fasciitis. Due to the importance of the subject, hvKP isolates were investigated in the current study. Met...
