Characterization of Klebsiella pneumoniae Virulence and Biofilm Formation Patterns in Southwestern Nigeria
This study highlights that the <i>aero_1</i>, <i>fimH</i>, and <i>uge</i> genes are frequently present in <i>K. pneumoniae</i> isolates from this region, and that these strains often carry multiple virulence genes. The strong virulence potential and biofilm-forming capacity of these isolates underscore a significant public health threat, particularly in vulnerable populations.
