Ruptured tibioperoneal trunk aneurysm caused by hypermucoviscous invasive Klebsiella pneumoniae infection: A case report

open access: yesAnnals of Vascular Surgery - Brief Reports and Innovations
Ruptured 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

Microbiological characteristics of hypermucoviscous Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates from different body fluids

open access: yesThe Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2017
Introduction: Reports of hypermucoviscous Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKP) isolated from fluids other than blood or abscess are rare. The aim of the study was to compare clinical and microbiological characteristics of hvKP found in blood or abscess fluid with those isolated from other loci.
