Recurrent bacteremia with a hypermucoviscous Escherichia coli isolated from a patient with perihilar cholangiocarcinoma: insights from a comprehensive genome-based analysis [PDF]
Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials, 2022 Background Escherichia coli (E. coli) is a common human pathogen, responsible for a broad spectrum of infections. Sites of infection can vary, but the hepato-biliary system is of particular concern due to the infection-associated formation of gallstones ...

Assessment of Biofilm Formation and Hypermucoviscosity in Klebsiella oxytoca from Clinical and Community Sources [PDF]
مجلة كلية الطبBackground: Klebsiella oxytoca is an emerging pathogen causing hospital- and community-acquired infections. Hypermucoviscous phenotype and biofilm development are considered markers of hypervirulence, causing invasive infections in healthy adults ...

Annals of Vascular Surgery - Brief Reports and InnovationsRuptured tibioperoneal trunk aneurysms are rare, and Klebsiella pneumoniae is seldom reported as a causative bacterium of infectious aneurysms. We report a case of tibioperoneal trunk pseudoaneurysm caused by hypermucoviscous K. pneumoniae infection. The

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

Carbapenem Resistance Conferred by OXA-48 in K2-ST86 Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae, France
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2020 We recovered 2 carbapenem-resistant K2-ST86 hypermucoviscous Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates from patients in France. The isolates had genetic attributes of hypervirulent K. pneumoniae but differed in ability to cause mouse lethality.

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