RESUMO
One of the early stages of Klebsiella pneumoniae airway infections may involve biofilm formation. Bacterial biofilm formation is frequently investigated using in vitro techniques that facilitate identification and analysis of individual genes. We investigated the correlation between K. pneumoniae biofilm formation in vitro and ability to cause infection in vivo following construction of a bank of mini-Tn5 mutants.
