Phenotypic Profiling of Biofilm Development and Efflux Pump Mechanisms in Multidrug-Resistant (MDR) Klebsiella pneumoniae

Study’s Excerpt: • All pneumoniae isolates were multidrug-resistant. • High resistance seen to Ofloxacin (75%) and Cephalexin (56%). • 25% of isolates formed biofilms; 12.5% showed efflux pump activity. • Ethidium bromide and Congo red agar were used for phenotypic tests. • Biofilms and...
