Rare and Susceptible: Hypermucoviscous Capsular 1 (K1) Serotype Klebsiella Pneumoniae Infective Endocarditis in a Patient with HIV-AIDS and Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

ASEAN Heart Journal
Hypermucoviscous (hv) Klebsiella pneumoniae strains are known to cause community-acquired infections that are serious, metastatic, and lethal. Patients with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus and people of Asian descent are predisposed to more severe disease.

Population-Based Surveillance for Hypermucoviscosity Klebsiella pneumoniae Causing Community-Acquired Bacteremia in Calgary, Alberta

Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, 2013
The characteristics of hypermucoviscosity isolates among Klebsiella pneumoniae causing community-acquired bacteremia were investigated. The hypermucoviscous phenotype was present in 8.2% of K pneumoniae isolates, and was associated with rmpA and the K2 ...

Co-occurrence of ST412 Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates with hypermucoviscous and non-mucoviscous phenotypes in a short-term hospitalized patient

mSystems
Hypermucoviscosity (HMV) is a phenotype that is commonly associated with hypervirulence in Klebsiella pneumoniae. The factors that contribute to the emergence of HMV subpopulations remain unclear. In this study, eight K. pneumoniae strains were recovered
