An Outbreak of ST859-K19 Carbapenem-Resistant Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae in a Chinese Teaching Hospital

open access: yesmSystems, 2022
Carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-hvKP) has been increasingly reported worldwide. Here, we report an outbreak caused by sequence type 859-K19 (ST859-K19) CR-hvKP isolates in a teaching hospital in China.

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

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

Phagocytosis of neutrophils against HvKP-K1, HvKP-K2 and cKP.

open access: yes, 2017
The rate of phagocytosis against cKP (15 isolates) was higher than that against HvKP-K1 (16 isolates) or HvKP-K2 (14 isolates) at 10, 30, 60 min.

Survival of cKP, HvKP-K1 and HvKP-K2 within human neutrophils.

open access: yes, 2017
The survival index was calculated with the equation described in the method. The survival index of cKP (15 isolates) was lower than that of HvKP-K1 (16 isolates) or HvKP-K2 (14 isolates). Each strain was repeated twice and averaged.

Rapid Detection to Differentiate Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp) From Classical K. pneumoniae by Identifying peg-344 With Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplication (LAMP) [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2020
To establish a rapid molecular diagnostics of hvKp using the peg-344 loop-mediated isothermal amplification technique (LAMP).In all, 28 K. pneumoniae strains isolated from the blood of patients were used for the peg-344 LAMP. K. pneumoniae NTUH-K2044 and K. pneumoniae ATCC700603 were used as positive control and negative control, respectively.

The emergence of the hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp) strains among circulating clonal complex 147 (CC147) harbouring blaNDM/OXA-48 carbapenemases in a tertiary care center of Iran [PDF]

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials, 2020
Abstract Background Klebsiella pneumoniae is a public health concern because of its ability to develop multidrug resistance and hypervirulent genotypes, of those capsular types K1 and K2 cause community and nosocomial life-threatening infections.

Clinical Features and Risk Factors Associated With 30-Day Mortality in Patients With Pneumonia Caused by Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKP)

open access: yesAnnals of Laboratory Medicine, 2020
Reports on metastatic or invasive infections by hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKP) have increased recently. However, the effects of its virulence on clinical course and outcomes in pneumonia patients have rarely been addressed. We assessed and compared the clinical features of hvKp and classic K.
