Association of Tellurite Resistance with Hypervirulent Clonal Groups of Klebsiella pneumoniae

, 2015
International audienceTellurite-based selective growth media are used for several bacterial pathogens. We found that, in Klebsiella pneumoniae , tellurite resistance is strongly associated with hypervirulent clonal group 23 (CG23), CG65, and CG86 ...
