Klebsiella pneumoniae mucoviscosity levels. Mucoviscosity of hypermucoviscous isolates K1, K5 and non-hypermucoviscous (NHM) was evaluated measuring optical density (OD)600 of normalized bacteria grown in LB broth after centrifugation. The error bars represent standard errors for triplicate samples, and the results shown are representative of three independent experiments. Asterisk indicates significant difference between treatments, p ≤ 0.05; Double asterisk indicates significant difference between treatments, p ≤ 0.001; Equal to indicates similarity between treatments.
