A Case Series of Hypermucoid Klebsiella pneumoniae Liver Abscess in Caucasian Americans Without Travel History: An Epidemiologic Shift?

open access: yesClinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp) is an emerging cause of community‐acquired pyogenic liver abscess (PLA), classically described in East and Southeast Asia. We report two cases of hvKp‐associated PLA in Caucasian women of American origin with no history of international travel, animal exposure, or Asian food consumption. Both patients

Interplay Between Phenotype and Genotype in Multidrug‐Resistant and Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolates From Southern Bangladesh

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Klebsiella pneumoniae (Kpn) is an opportunistic bacterium associated with various diseases, with significant morbidity and mortality due to treatment challenges posed by hypervirulent and multidrug‐resistant (MDR) strains. This study investigates the prevalence of antimicrobial resistance, virulence factors, and clonal diversity of Kpn isolates.

Disseminated Klebsiella pneumoniae Infection Causing Multisystem Abscesses and Necrotising Fasciitis in an Immunocompetent Patient: A Case Report

open access: yesCase Reports in Infectious Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Disseminated Klebsiella pneumoniae infection that concurrently produces a liver abscess, bilateral pulmonary abscesses and necrotising fasciitis is uncommon in patients without overt immunocompromise. Definitive designation of a hypervirulent strain requires the string test and virulence‐gene testing, which are not always available at the ...
