Phenotypic and genotypic analysis of hypermucoviscous Klebsiella pneumoniae (hmkp) strain
The string test is the primary phenotypical diagnosis for hmKp, while the genetically encoded <i>rmpA</i> gene is the most reliable genetic marker for hmKp identification. However, MLST is not beneficial for identification. The central positioning of ST392 within the MST highlights its potential role as an emerging high-risk clone.
