Contribution of disease to Australian sea lion (Neophoca cinerea) pup mortality at Seal Bay, Kangaroo Island, 2016–2022

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, Volume 41, Issue 2, April 2025.
Abstract The endangered Australian sea lion (Neophoca cinerea) population is declining, and its conservation is threatened by the species' low fecundity and high pup mortality. This study details reasons for pup deaths and quantifies the impacts of disease and comorbidity. Of 284 dead pups reported from five breeding seasons (2016–2022) at the Seal Bay

Identification and Characterization of NDM-1-producing Hypervirulent (Hypermucoviscous) Klebsiella pneumoniae in China

open access: yesAnnals of Laboratory Medicine, 2019
Carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent (hypermucoviscous) Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-HMKP) poses a significant public health challenge. We investigated its epidemiology and molecular characteristics in a tertiary care hospital in eastern China.CR-HMKP were identified among 106 non-duplicated carbapenem-resistant K.

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

open access: yes, 2022
Background Hypermucoviscous (HMV) Klebsiella pneumoniae produces large amounts of capsular polysaccharides, leading to high mortality. Since extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing HMV K.

Primary liver abscess due to CC23-K1 virulent clone of Klebsiella pneumoniae in France [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Since the mid-1980s, Klebsiella pneumoniae hypermucoviscous isolates have emerged in Taiwan and other Asian countries. We reported the first autochthonous European liver abscess due to an ST57 isolate, which belongs to virulent clonal complex CC23-KI ...

Microbiological and Clinical Characteristics of Hypermucoviscous Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolates Associated with Invasive Infections in China

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2017
A distinctive syndrome caused by hypermucoviscous Klebsiella pneumoniae (HMKP) including pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) is now becoming a globally emerging disease. In the present study, 22.8% (84/369) of K. pneumoniae clinical isolates associated with various types of invasive infections were identified as HMKP, with 45.2% associated with PLA ...
