Renal abscesses and endogenous endophthalmitis due to hypermucoviscous hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (HVKP)

open access: yesIDCases, 2021
We describe a diabetic patient with left eye endogenous endophthalmitis due to hypervirulent hypermucoviscous Klebsiella pneumoniae (HKVP) originating from right renal abscesses. A rare source of HVKP causing endogenous endophthalmitis. Despite treatment with intravenous ceftazidime and pars plana vitrectomy, the patient required evisceration of the ...

Itaconate inhibits SYK through alkylation and suppresses inflammation against hvKP induced intestinal dysbiosis

Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2023
Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKP) is a highly lethal opportunistic pathogen that elicits more severe inflammatory responses compared to classical Klebsiella pneumoniae (cKP). In this study, we investigated the interaction between hvKP infection and the anti-inflammatory immune response gene 1 (IRG1)-itaconate axis. Firstly, we demonstrated the

The threat of carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-HvKP) [PDF]

open access: yesBiomedical Research (Aligarh, India), 2018
Klebsiella pneumoniae is one of clinically important opportunistic pathogens responsible for community-acquired and nosocomial infections in immunocompromised individuals. The increasing prevalence of carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae (CRKP) poses a serious threat to public health worldwide. With antibiotic resistance, hypervirulent K.

Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) guided drainage in the treatment of a patient with lung abscess secondary to hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKP) infection: A case report

open access: yesRespiratory Medicine Case Reports, 2021
Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKP) can cause lung abscess, serious infection, and has a high mortality. Drainage plays a key role in the treatment of lung abscess secondary to hvKP. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) can identify necrotic areas within peripheral pulmonary lesions.

Genotypic characterization of hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp) in a tertiary care Indian hospital

International Microbiology
Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp) is an emerging pathogen and causes endophthalmitis, liver abscess, osteomyelitis, meningitis, and necrotizing soft tissue infections in both immunodeficient and healthy people. The acquisition of the antibiotic resistance genes of hvKp has become an emerging concern throughout the globe. In this study, a total

Phenotypic and Genotypic Characteristics of Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp): A Narrative Review

Current Microbiology
Hypervirulence, an emerging term used to describe an ability of pathogen to survive in harsh environments, is particularly suited to the enigmatic Klebsiella pneumoniae (Kp). Numerous studies are underway to comprehend how this bacterium evolve into hypervirulent forms. While K.
