Bacterial Outer Membrane Permeability Increase Underlies the Bactericidal Effect of Fatty Acids From Hermetia illucens (Black Soldier Fly) Larvae Fat Against Hypermucoviscous Isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Behind expensive treatments, Klebsiella pneumoniae infections account for extended hospitalization’s high mortality rates. This study aimed to evaluate the activity and mechanism of the antimicrobial action of a fatty acid-containing extract (AWME3 ...

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 ...

Incidence of hypermucoviscous Klebsiella pneumoniae and phenotypic detection of their virulence factors along with classical strains among patients visiting tertiary care hospital

Journal of Infection in Developing Countries
Introduction: A new strain of Klebsiella pneumoniae named hypermucoviscous K. pneumoniae emerges with a distinctive feature to classical strains. Infections due to hypermucoviscous strains have increased with significant mortality and morbidity.

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 ...

Comprehensive Analysis of Bacteriocins Produced by the Hypermucoviscous Klebsiella pneumoniae Species Complex

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
Klebsiella pneumoniae is a Gram-negative commensal bacterium that asymptomatically colonizes human mucosal membranes, such as the intestinal tract, but it is also a leading cause of health care- and community-associated infections. Additionally, multidrug-resistant K.
