Figure 3
Kaplan–Meier plots showing the percent survival of BALB/c mice over twelve days post-infection with hypervirulent and atypical hypervirulent (102, 103 and 108 CFUs), hypermucoviscous-like (3 × 108 CFUs), and classical (3 × 108 CFUs) strains. The characteristics of each strain such as ST, capsular type and ARGs are included. The panel of classical isolates included two colistin resistant isolates (COLR) due to mgrB disruption (14669) and mutations in pmrB gene (5166). Mice challenged with classical MDR strain 11271 and the hypervirulent 10271 ST86-KL2 were used as controls18. *This isolate correspond to hv K. quasipneumoniae subsp. similipneumoniae.
