Characterization of Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (Hv-Kp): Correlation of Virulence with Antimicrobial Susceptibility

Table 4

Multidrug resistance exhibited by classical Klebsiella pneumoniae (C-Kp) and hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (Hv-Kp) isolates included in the study.

Infection type	C-Kp (%)			Hv-Kp (%)
	One drug	Two	≥ Three	One drug	Two	≥ Three
Sepsis	03	02	25	01	0	02
RTI	01	02	16	04	0	01
UTI	05	04	31	0	02	03
Pyogenic	05	0	13	01	01	02
Total	14 (12.6)	8 (7.2)	85 (76.6)	6 (33.3)	3 (16.6)	8 (44.4)

Five isolates were sensitive to all antibiotics (4 isolates of C−Kp; 1 isolate of Hv−Kp); Statistically significant;.
