Identification of hypermucoviscous Klebsiella pneumoniae K1, K2, K54 and K57 capsular serotypes by Raman spectroscopy [PDF]

Antimicrobial resistance poses a significant challenge in modern medicine, affecting public health. Klebsiella pneumoniae infections compound this issue due to their broad range of infections and the emergence of multiple antibiotic resistance mechanisms.

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.

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

Distribution, characterization and antibiotic resistance of hypervirulent Klebsiella Pneumoniae (hvKp) strains versus classical strains(CKp) causing healthcare associated infections in Sohag University Hospitals

Microbes and Infectious Diseases
Background:  Klebsiella pneumoniae has two different pathotypes: hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvkp) and classical Klebsiella pneumoniae (ckp), hvkp is more potent than ckp causing vast types of severe disseminated infections. This cross sectional study done to detect frequency of hvkp versus ckp , their antibiotic resistance and risk factors ...
