Draft Genome Sequence of the First Hypermucoviscous Klebsiella quasipneumoniae subsp. quasipneumoniae Isolate from a Bloodstream Infection [PDF]

, 2015
Klebsiella quasipneumoniae is a recently described species, formerly identified as K. pneumoniae phylogroup KpII. Information on pathogenic and virulence potential of this species are lacking.

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.

Hypervirulent (hypermucoviscous) Klebsiella pneumoniae causing pyogenic liver abscess [PDF]

Canadian Medical Association Journal, 2018
A 34-year-old otherwise healthy Vietnamese man, living in Canada for four years, attended the emergency department with a three-week history of abdominal pain and fever. He had a leukocyte count of 14.64 (normal 4.0–10.0) × 109/L, alanine transaminase level of 65 (normal 8–60) U/L and ...

Respiratory Commensal Bacteria Increase Protection against Hypermucoviscous Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae ST25 Infection

, 2022
In a previous work, we demonstrated that nasally administered Corynebacterium pseudodiphtheriticum 090104 beneficially modulated the respiratory innate immune response and improved the protection against Respiratory Syncytial Virus and Streptococcus ...

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 Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae ST25 Infect Human Intestinal Epithelial Cells and Induce Moderate Inflammation

, 2023
Klebsiella pneumoniae is an opportunistic pathogen that can produce moderate and severe infections in immunosuppressed hosts. In recent years, an increase in the isolation of hypermucoviscous carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae with sequence type 25 (ST25)

Investigating the phenotypic alterations associated with hypermucoviscous hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae during phage resistance development. [PDF]

BMC Microbiol
Phage therapy has been explored and used compassionately in the post-antibiotic era, though phage resistance might pose a serious challenge. The advent of hypervirulent and hypermucoviscous traits in Klebsiella pneumoniae limits therapeutic choices. This

Multiple detection of hypermucoviscous and hypervirulent strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae: An emergent health care threat

, 2022
This study focused on the characterization of 19 hypermucoviscous Klebsiella pneumoniae strains, that were identified from 26 hypermucosal strains. In order to identify hypermucoviscous strains of K. pneumoniae, the string test was applied.

Interaction of non-human primate complement and antibodies with hypermucoviscous Klebsiella pneumoniae [PDF]

Veterinary Research, 2016
Emergent hypermucoviscosity (HMV) phenotypes of Klebsiella pneumoniae have been associated with increased invasiveness and pathogenicity in primates. In this study, we investigated the interaction of African green monkeys (AGM) (Chlorocebus aethiops sabaeus) complement and antibody with HMV and non-HMV isolates as in vitro models of primate infection ...

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.
