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

Canadian 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.

Comparative and Subtractive Genomics Analysis of Multidrug‐Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae Strains for Novel Target Identification and Drug Repurposing Strategies

International Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The rapid rise of multidrug‐resistant (MDR) Klebsiella pneumoniae has created a major global health challenge due to the limited availability of conserved therapeutic targets effective across diverse resistant strains. In this study, an integrative computational target‐discovery and drug‐repurposing framework was applied to six clinically relevant K ...

Multisystemic Abscesses in African Green Monkeys (Chlorocebus aethiops) with Invasive Klebsiella pneumoniae—Identification of the Hypermucoviscosity Phenotype [PDF]

Veterinary Pathology, 2008
Invasive Klebsiella pneumoniae is an emerging disease of humans characterized by abscesses in the liver or other sites involving bacteria with the unique hypermucoviscosity phenotype. Over several months, 7 African green monkeys in our research colony developed abscess formation in multiple locations and succumbed to disease. K.
