Antimicrobial Resistance, Virulence, and Genomic Characteristics of <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> Isolated From Four Host Sources in Northeast China. [PDF]

Transbound Emerg Dis
Klebsiella pneumoniae is an important emerging pathogen leading to serious clinical outcomes as the multidrug‐resistant (MDR) isolates arise. While K. pneumoniae is a well‐known pathogen in human clinical settings, its risks in nonhuman hosts and potential for cross‐species transmission remain poorly understood. In this study, we performed whole‐genome

The first case of abdominal mycotic aneurysm caused by K1 hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae in a healthy adult [PDF]

Acute and Critical Care, 2021
Incidence of hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp) infection has been steadily increasing in the Asia-Pacific rim. The characteristic of hvKp infection is its ability to cause multiple site infections and unpredictable metastatic spread in the ...

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

Resistance of hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae to cathepsin B-mediated pyroptosis in murine macrophages

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023
IntroductionHypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp) has emerged as a clinically significant global pathogen in the last decade. However, the host immune responses of the macrophages during hvKp infection are largely unknown.

Screening of Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolates for Carbapenemase and Hypervirulence-Associated Genes by Combining the Eazyplex® Superbug CRE and hvKp Assays

Antibiotics, 2023
The acquisition of hypervirulence-associated genes by carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae is being increasingly observed, and easy-to-use diagnostic tests are needed for the surveillance of the hypervirulent K. pneumoniae (hvKp). In this pilot study, 87 K.

Microbiological characteristics of hypermucoviscous Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates from different body fluids

Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2017
Introduction: Reports of hypermucoviscous Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKP) isolated from fluids other than blood or abscess are rare. The aim of the study was to compare clinical and microbiological characteristics of hvKP found in blood or abscess fluid ...
