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

Differences in severity of bacteraemia caused by hypermucoviscous and non-hypermucoviscous Klebsiella pneumoniae

International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents, 2023
Klebsiella pneumoniae strains pose a significant threat to public health. Currently, it is inconclusive whether hypermucoviscous K. pneumoniae (hmKp; semi-quantitatively defined by a positive 'string test') bacteraemia is clinically more severe than non-hmKp bacteraemia.

Genomic and Immunological Characterization of Hypermucoviscous Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae ST25 Isolates from Northwest Argentina

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022
In recent years, an increase in the prevalence hypermucoviscous carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae with sequence type 25 (ST25) was detected in hospitals of Tucuman (Northwest Argentina). In this work, the virulence and the innate immune response

Hypermucoviscous Klebsiella pneumoniae: A challenge in community acquired infection

open access: yesIDCases, 2019
In 1986, a new syndrome was described in Taiwan secondary to hypervirulent K. pneumoniae (hvKP), and its main feature was the ability to cause severe infection in young and immunocompetent hosts. Their virulence is explained by the efficient acquisition of iron and an increase in capsule production, which confer the characteristic hypermucoviscous ...

Improvement of transformation efficiency in hypermucoviscous Klebsiella pneumoniae using citric acid

Journal of Microbiological Methods, 2023
Transformation efficiency is very low in hypermucoviscous Kllebsiella pneumoniae owing to high amount of capsular polysaccharide. Here, we propose a method to improve the transformation in hypermucoviscous K. pneumoniae using citric acid. An increased number of recovered transformants was observed in the strains cultured in the presence of citric acid.
