Extensively Drug-Resistant Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae From a Series of Neonatal Sepsis in a Tertiary Care Hospital, India

Frontiers in Medicine, 2021
The recent emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) Klebsiella pneumoniae with hypervirulent traits causing severe infections and considerable mortality is a global cause for concern. The challenges posed by these hypermucoviscous strains of K.

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.

Safety and Efficacy of a Phage, kpssk3, in an in vivo Model of Carbapenem-Resistant Hypermucoviscous Klebsiella pneumoniae Bacteremia

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the most significant threats to global public health. As antibiotic failure is increasing, phages are gradually becoming important agents in the post-antibiotic era.

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 ...
