Tracking key virulence loci encoding aerobactin and salmochelin siderophore synthesis in Klebsiella pneumoniae. [PDF]
, 2018 BACKGROUND: Klebsiella pneumoniae is a recognised agent of multidrug-resistant (MDR) healthcare-associated infections; however, individual strains vary in their virulence potential due to the presence of mobile accessory genes.

Assessment of Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolates Using Multilocus Sequence Typing in West of Iran. [PDF]
MicrobiologyopenThis study identified eight novel sequence types (STs) of hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae using MLST in western Iran. The findings highlight the genetic diversity and public health threat posed by hvKP strains. Phenotypic and genotypic methods, including PCR and MLST, were used to identify hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates in western ...

Exploring dangerous connections between Klebsiella pneumoniae biofilms and healthcare-associated infections [PDF]
, 2014 Healthcare-associated infections (HAI) are a huge public health concern,particularly when the etiological agents are multidrug resistant. The ability of bacteria to develop biofilm is a helpful skill, both to persist within hospital units and to ...

Enhancement of capsular hypermucoviscosity in Klebsiella pneumoniae by Acanthamoeba.
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2023 BackgroundAcanthamoeba and Klebsiella pneumoniae are both environmental commensals. Recently, clinical harm caused by hypermucoviscous K. pneumoniae has been observed.

Modeling the architecture of depolymerase-containing receptor binding proteins in Klebsiella phages [PDF]
, 2019 Klebsiella pneumoniae carries a thick polysaccharide capsule. This highly variable chemical structure plays an important role in its virulence. Many Klebsiella bacteriophages recognize this capsule with a receptor binding protein (RBP) that contains a ...

Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae serotype K1 clinical isolates form robust biofilms at the air-liquid interface [PDF]
, 2020 The prevalence of a new hypervirulent and hypermucoviscous K. pneumoniae phenotype (Hmv) is increasing worldwide, mainly linked to serotypes K1 and K2. Since capsular thickness can directly affect the capability to form biofilms, we aimed to evaluate the

Whole genome sequencing reveals high-resolution epidemiological links between clinical and environmental Klebsiella pneumoniae. [PDF]
, 2017 BACKGROUND: Klebsiella pneumoniae is a gram-negative bacterial species capable of occupying a broad range of environmental and clinical habitats. Known as an opportunistic pathogen, it has recently become a major causative agent of clinical infections ...

The Small Protein RmpD Drives Hypermucoviscosity in
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
