Genomically defined hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae contributed to early-onset increased mortality

Nature Communications
The presence of all five of the virulence-associated genes iucA, iroB, peg-344, rmpA, and rmpA2 is presently the most accurate genomic means for predicting hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp-p).

Image_2_Clinical and genomic characterization of hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp) infections via passive surveillance in Southern California, 2020–2022.pdf

, 2022
Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp) is more invasive and virulent than classical K. pneumoniae, and requires specialized treatment. To raise clinical awareness, this study determined the prevalence, clinical characteristics, and genomic ...

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.

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 ...

The Role of Plasmid and Resistance Gene Acquisition in the Emergence of ST23 Multi-Drug Resistant, Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
Multidrug-resistant (MDR) hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp) sequence type (ST) 23 (MDR-ST23-hvKp) is emerging in China. Despite its increasing importance, this pathogen has not yet been subject to detailed genomic interrogation. We identified 28
