Virulence of KP isolates. The virulence of 1 × 106 CFU of each KP strain (KPNY9, KPNY31, KPNY40, KPNY42, KPNY5, KPNY11, KPNY26, KPNY33, KPNY48, and KPNY52) was investigated using a G. mellonella infection model. ATCC 700603 and NTUH-K2044 were used as low and high virulence KP controls, respectively. The four isolates (KPNY9, KPNY31, KPNY40, KPNY42) resulted in significantly lower survival rates than ATCC 700603, suggesting that they were hypervirulent
