A Step Forward in Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae Diagnostics

Emerging Infectious Diseases
Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp) can cause life-threatening infections in healthy community members. HvKp infections often involve multiple sites, some of which are unusual for classical K.

Clinical use of tigecycline may contribute to the widespread dissemination of carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae strains

Emerging Microbes and Infections
The emergence of carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-hvKP) poses grave threats to human health. These strains increased dramatically in clinical settings in China in the past few years but not in other parts of the world.

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.

Phenotypic and genotypic study of hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp) and molecular characterization of its resistance and virulence determinants [PDF]

Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp) has emerged as a significant pathogen due to its increasing incidence. Originally considered an opportunistic bacterium responsible for nosocomial infections in immunocompromised individuals, it now poses a substantial threat by causing severe infections, such as pneumonia, liver abscesses, or bacteremia, in ...
