Phenotypic and genomic characterization of ST11-K1 CR-hvKP with highly homologous bla _KPC-2 -bearing plasmids in China

mSystems
ABSTRACT Carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-hvKP) strains present a significant global public health threat due to their high mortality rates. This study investigated the genomic characteristics of seven ST11-K1 CR-hvKP isolates harboring highly ...

High Prevalence of Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae Infection in China: Geographic Distribution, Clinical Characteristics, and Antimicrobial Resistance

, 2016
Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKP) is traditionally defined by hypermucoviscosity, but data based on genetic background are limited. Antimicrobial-resistant hvKP has been increasingly reported but has not yet been systematically studied.

Acquisition of a stable and transferable plasmid coharbouring hypervirulence and MDR genes with low fitness cost: Accelerating the dissemination of ST11-KL64 CR-HvKP

Journal of Global Antimicrobial Resistance
This study aimed to delineate the ability of a plasmid, pS130-4, which harboured both hypervirulence and multidrug resistance genes, to disseminate within Klebsiella pneumoniae, as well as its potential formation mechanism.We employed whole-genome sequencing to decipher the genetic architecture of pS130-4.

Clinical use of tigecycline may contribute to the widespread dissemination of carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae strains

The emergence of carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-hvKP) poses grave threats to human health. These strains increased dramatically in clinical settings in China in the past few years but not in other parts of the world.

Role of outer membrane vesicles of hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from bovine uterine discharge in pro-inflammatory dysregulation

Bulgarian Journal of Veterinary Medicine
Numerous research studies have established a connection between hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumo-niae (hvKP) and bovine abortion, as well as other complications and clinical illnesses. These bacteria, which belong to the Gram-negative group, release outer
