Hypervirulent (hypermucoviscous)Klebsiella pneumoniae [PDF]

Virulence, 2013
A new hypervirulent (hypermucoviscous) variant of Klebsiella pneumoniae has emerged. First described in the Asian Pacific Rim, it now increasingly recognized in Western countries. Defining clinical features are the ability to cause serious, life-threatening community-acquired infection in younger healthy hosts, including liver abscess, pneumonia ...

Bartholin's abscess caused by hypermucoviscous Klebsiella pneumoniae [PDF]

Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2009
Klebsiella pneumoniae serogroups displaying the hypermucoviscosity phenotype are associated with a distinct clinical syndrome characterized by liver abscesses, bacteraemia and metastatic lesions. We describe here what we believe to be the first reported case of hypermucoviscous K.

Hypermucoviscous Klebsiella pneumoniae: A Hypervirulent Strain Masquerading as Metastasis

Cureus, 2023
Hypermucoviscous Klebsiella pneumoniae (HvKP) is a hypervirulent strain of Klebsiella that causes metastatic spread and life-threatening infection. While it is more common among people of Asian descent, it has been increasingly reported globally among people of other ethnicities as well.

A novel hypermucoviscous Klebsiella pneumoniae ST3994-K2 clone belonging to Clonal Group 86 [PDF]

, 2021
Emergent hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae has been responsible for severe diseases, representing a serious threat to public health. We report the whole-genome sequencing of a novel ST3994-K2 clone, a single locus variant of ST86 K2, which is ...

A case of Klebsiella pneumoniae hypervirulent phenotype causing necrotizing fasciitis of chest wall: A mono-microbial entity emerging in the Indian subcontinent

Journal of Family Medicine and Primary Care, 2022
Necrotizing fasciitis of the chest wall or upper torso is a rare clinical entity. Monomicrobial Klebsiella pneumoniae as a causative agent of necrotizing fasciitis is far less common than the polymicrobial etiology.

The Small Protein RmpD Drives Hypermucoviscosity in Klebsiella pneumoniae

mBio, 2020
Klebsiella pneumoniae has a remarkable ability to cause a wide range of human diseases. It is divided into two broad classes: classical strains that are a notable problem in health care settings due to multidrug resistance, and hypervirulent (hv) strains

Hypermucoviscous Klebsiella corneal abscess: Infection from inside out. [PDF]

Eur J Ophthalmol
Background Corneal ulcers are typically caused by external (“exogenous”) factors such as trauma, contact lens use, or preexisting ocular surface diseases. Internal systemic (“endogenous”) sources have not been reported as direct causes of corneal ulcers.
