The seroconversion to KP1_p307 in two patients with K. pneumoniae causing PLA. The recombinant His-tag KP1_p307 protein was separated on SDS-PAGE and immunoblotted with serial sera collected from two patients with K. pneumoniae causing PLA simultaneously by using Bio-Rad Mini-PROTEAN II Multiscreen Apparatus (in panels A and B, respectively). The numbers under the panel indicate the date after admission to hospital. The seroconversion was observed in panel A (the 5th day) and in panel B (the 10th day).
