Geographic containment and virulence‐resistance trade‐offs drive the evolution of hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae

open access: yesiMeta, Volume 4, Issue 5, October 2025.
The global emergence of hypervirulent, carbapenem‐resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvCRKP) poses a paradox: why do such dangerous clones remain geographically confined? By analyzing over 2500 CC23 genomes across 90 years, we uncover a core evolutionary constraint—virulence and resistance rarely coexist without trade‐offs. Potent carbapenemases (blaKPC,

Murine Models of Klebsiella pneumoniae Gastrointestinal Infection

open access: yesCurrent Protocols, Volume 5, Issue 8, August 2025.
Abstract Klebsiella pneumoniae (Kpn) is a Gram‐negative opportunistic pathogen and a leading cause of hospital‐acquired infections. The gastrointestinal (GI) tract serves as a critical site for Kpn colonization and a reservoir for host‐to‐host spread that primarily occurs through the fecal‐oral route.

WGS analysis of hypervirulent and MDR Klebsiella pneumoniae from Vietnam reveales an inverse relationship between resistome and virulome [PDF]

open access: yes
The emergence of Klebsiella (K.) pneumoniae as a leading cause of nosocomial infections in Southeast Asia is of concern. Vietnam has an outstanding position with regard to antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) pathogens and is a hotspot for carbapenem-resistant ...

Assessment of Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolates Using Multilocus Sequence Typing in West of Iran

open access: yesMicrobiologyOpen, Volume 14, Issue 4, August 2025.
This study identified eight novel sequence types (STs) of hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae using MLST in western Iran. The findings highlight the genetic diversity and public health threat posed by hvKP strains. Phenotypic and genotypic methods, including PCR and MLST, were used to identify hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates in western ...

Activation of GPR35 by kynurenic acid inhibits IL-1β secretion in macrophages during CR-hvKP-induced pneumonia

open access: yesInternational Immunopharmacology
Carbapenemase-resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-hvKP) is a common pathogen that can cause severe pneumonia. The innate immune response, especially the response of macrophages, plays a crucial role in the host's defense against bacterial infections. Glycolysis is implicated in the modulation of immune functions in macrophages.

The global genomic landscape of hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae from 1932 to 2021

open access: yesmLife, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 378-396, August 2025.
Abstract The global spread of hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp) poses a serious public health threat. In this study, we conducted genomic epidemiology analysis on 2097 global hvKp isolates, including our 900 isolates sequenced through the Illumina platform (177 of them fully sequenced through PacBio platform), representing the most ...

Investigation on Klebsiella pneumoniae in the field of extracellular vesicles

open access: yesInterdisciplinary Medicine, Volume 3, Issue 4, July 2025.
The role of extracellular vesicles in the pathogenicity and antibiotic resistance, as well as treatment and prevention of Klebsiella pneumoniae. Abstract Klebsiella pneumoniae (KP), recognized for its pronounced antibiotic resistance, is a prevalent agent of nosocomial infections such as hospital‐acquired pneumonia.

Structural Insights Into Papain‐Derived Synthetic Antibacterial Peptides for Targeting Klebsiella pneumoniae

open access: yesChemical Biology &Drug Design, Volume 105, Issue 5, May 2025.
The synthetic peptides WK‐MAP1 and WG‐MAP2, bioinspired by papain, demonstrated optimized activity, particularly against multidrug‐resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae, with improved sequence interaction profiles, membrane affinity, and predicted antimicrobial and antibiofilm efficacy, supporting their potential as therapeutic peptide candidates.
