Genome sequence of a virulent and hypermucoviscous-like Klebsiella michiganensis clinical isolate
BMC Research Notes, 2023 Objectives The hypermucoviscous-like phenotype has been described in Klebsiella pneumoniae species complex (KpSC) and was described as a contributor of increased virulence.

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

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 ...
