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.

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

open access: yesMicrobes 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 ...
