A Fatal Case of Necrotizing Pneumonia Caused by Hypermucoviscous Klebsiella pneumoniae. [PDF]
Clin Case RepABSTRACTNecrotizing pneumonia has a high mortality rate of approximately 50%. Its computed tomography findings lack enhancement in areas of consolidation. These findings should be interpreted as potentially indicative of a severe clinical course. Hypermucovisous strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae are often hypervirulent and may cause fatal necrotizing ...

Hypermucoviscous Klebsiella pneumoniae liver abscess requiring liver resection [PDF]
BMJ Case Reports, 2018 A 41-year-old healthy woman from China presented to her local hospital with a 4-day history of fevers, malaise and epigastric pain. On examination, she had localised right upper quadrant abdominal pain on palpation. Laboratory investigations showed leukocytosis (13.8×109/L), thrombocytopaenia (82×109/L) and elevated alanine transaminase (184 U/L).

Potent monoclonal antibodies against multidrug‐resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae
Interdisciplinary Medicine, Volume 4, Issue 4, July 2026.A novel immunization strategy using a low‐virulence, multidrug‐resistant strain yields synergistic monoclonal antibodies against hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae. These antibodies provide cross‐serotype protection through a dual‐mechanism of pathogen clearance and immunomodulation, offering a promising non‐antibiotic therapeutic for resistant ...
