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

open access: yesEmerging 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.

Comparative genetic analysis of the antimicrobial susceptibilities and virulence of hypermucoviscous and non-hypermucoviscous ESBL-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae in Japan

open access: yesJournal of Microbiology, Immunology and Infection, 2023
Hypermucoviscous (HMV) Klebsiella pneumoniae produces large amounts of capsular polysaccharides, leading to high mortality. Since extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing HMV K. pneumoniae strains have increased in Japan, we investigated and compared the antimicrobial susceptibilities and genetic characteristics of HMV and non-HMV ESBL ...

Genomic Analysis of Multidrug-Resistant Hypervirulent (Hypermucoviscous) Klebsiella pneumoniae Strain Lacking the Hypermucoviscous Regulators (rmpA/rmpA2)

open access: yesAntibiotics, 2022
Hypervirulent K. pneumoniae (hvKP) strains possess distinct characteristics such as hypermucoviscosity, unique serotypes, and virulence factors associated with high pathogenicity.

Carbapenem-resistant hypermucoviscous Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical isolates from a tertiary hospital in China: Antimicrobial susceptibility, resistance phenotype, epidemiological characteristics, microbial virulence, and risk factors

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022
Hypervirulent and multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae poses a significant threat to public health. We aimed to determine the common carbapenemase genotypes and the carriage patterns, main antibiotic resistance mechanisms, and in vitro ...

Fatal disseminated pyogenic infection due to hypermucoviscous hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae: A case report and literature review

open access: yesClinical Case Reports (discontinued), 2021
Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumonia is becoming recognized globally and has been associated with serious sequelae including death. However, ethnicity and metastatic infections are characteristics for hypermucoviscous hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae ...

Acute femoral osteomyelitis due to hypermucoviscous Klebsiella pneumoniae

open access: yesIDCases, 2022
Hypervirulent hypermucoviscous Klebsiella pneumoniae strains have emerged as clinically important pathogens causing invasive infections. K. pneumoniae osteomyelitis is uncommon in adult patients, and may mimic bone tumors on presentation.

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

open access: yesVirulence, 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.
