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.
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.
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]
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]
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.

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.
