Bacteriological characteristics of hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae rmpA gene (hvKp-rmpA)-harboring strains in the south of Iran

Iranian Journal of Microbiology, 2022
Background and Objectives: To provide data on the occurrence of classical K. pneumoniae (cKp) and hypervirulent Klebsi- ella pneumoniae (hvKp) strains harboring the gene encoding regulator of mucoid phenotype A (rmpA) and evaluated charac- teristics of virulence biomarkers, carbapenemase, extended-spectrum-β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing, and capsule ...

A case of Klebsiella pneumoniae hypervirulent phenotype causing necrotizing fasciitis of chest wall: A mono-microbial entity emerging in the Indian subcontinent

Journal of Family Medicine and Primary Care, 2022
Necrotizing fasciitis of the chest wall or upper torso is a rare clinical entity. Monomicrobial Klebsiella pneumoniae as a causative agent of necrotizing fasciitis is far less common than the polymicrobial etiology.
