Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp): Overview, Epidemiology, and Laboratory Detection

Pathogens and Immunity
Klebsiella pneumoniae (Kp) is a Gram-negative pathogen responsible for both hospital- and community-acquired infections. Kp is classified into 2 distinct pathotypes: classical K. pneumoniae (cKp) and hypervirulent K. pneumoniae (hvKp).

Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs)-mediated killing of carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-hvKP) are impaired in patients with diabetes mellitus [PDF]

Virulence, 2020
Carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-hvKP) have been reported in recent years across Asian countries and pose a serious threat to public health. Neutrophils represent the first line of defense against numerous infectious pathogens,

Comparative Proteomic Profiling of Clinical <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> Strains and the Corresponding Outer Membrane Vesicles. [PDF]

J Extracell Biol
ABSTRACT Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) has become a global threat due to the convergence of carbapenem resistance and hypervirulence. Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) play important roles in bacterial pathogenicity, yet their functional coordination with strains remains unclear.

Emergence of colistin-resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (CoR-HvKp) in China [PDF]

Emerging Microbes & Infections, 2022
Colistin is regarded as a last-resort agent to combat infections caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacteria, especially carbapenem-resistant isolates. In recent years, reports of colistin-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CoRKp) are increasing.

Clinical challenges with hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKP) in China

Journal of Translational Internal Medicine, 2021
Abstract Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp) is an evolving pathotype with higher virulence than classical K. pneumoniae (cKp) and is characterized by community-acquired, multiple sites of infections and young and healthy hosts. hvKP infections were primarily found in East Asia and have been increasingly reported worldwide over ...
