A Case Series of Hypermucoid <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> Liver Abscess in Caucasian Americans Without Travel History: An Epidemiologic Shift? [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
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

Hypervirulent and hypermucoviscous extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae and Klebsiella variicola in Chile

Virulence, 2021
Convergence of virulence and antibiotic-resistance has been reported in Klebsiella pneumoniae, but not in Klebsiella variicola. We, hereby, report the detection and genomic characterization of hypervirulent and hypermucoviscous K.

Safety and Efficacy of a Phage, kpssk3, in an in vivo Model of Carbapenem-Resistant Hypermucoviscous Klebsiella pneumoniae Bacteremia

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the most significant threats to global public health. As antibiotic failure is increasing, phages are gradually becoming important agents in the post-antibiotic era.

Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae Infections: A Systematic Review of Clinical, Microbiological, and Outcome Data From Reported Cases. [PDF]

Microbiologyopen
Distribution of organ involvement in reported hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae cases. Studies restricted to isolated liver abscess cases were excluded. Percentages represent the proportion of cases with documented involvement of each anatomical site among cases with available data.

Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae from clinical infections: a multifactorial analysis of resistance, virulence, and biofilm potential [PDF]

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
IntroductionKlebsiella pneumoniae has emerged as a major nosocomial pathogen, with hypermucoviscous and hypervirulent variants contributing to severe clinical outcomes. Understanding the interplay between antimicrobial resistance, virulence determinants,

Antimicrobial resistance in hypermucoviscous and non-hypermucoviscous Klebsiella pneumoniae : a systematic review and meta-analysis

Emerging Microbes and Infections
Antimicrobial resistance has recently increased due to emerging carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae and extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing strains of K. pneumoniae, especially among hypermucoviscous K. pneumoniae (hmKp) strains.

Investigating the phenotypic alterations associated with hypermucoviscous hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae during phage resistance development [PDF]

BMC Microbiology
Phage therapy has been explored and used compassionately in the post-antibiotic era, though phage resistance might pose a serious challenge. The advent of hypervirulent and hypermucoviscous traits in Klebsiella pneumoniae limits therapeutic choices. This
