This technique involved meticulously preparing a solution by dissolving 0.1 g of potassium tellurite powder in 10 ml of sterile water, followed by ltration through 0.45 µm pore-size membrane lters. Subsequently, 300 µl of the potassium tellurite solution was delicately added to 100 ml of autoclaved and cooled Muller-Hinton agar medium, maintaining temperatures between 45°C to 55°C. The resulting solution was meticulously distributed into sterile plates. After an overnight incubation at 37°C, colonies emerged, and a thorough inspection was conducted. Isolates that developed distinctive black colonies were earmarked as probable hvKp, warranting further exploration [7] (link).
