The Influence of Carbohydrates on the Virulence Potential of <i>Klebsiella variicola</i> Isolates. [PDF]

Int J Microbiol
Klebsiella variicola is a Gram‐negative bacillus belonging to Enterobacteriaceae recognized as an emerging human pathogen in the last years. The species is frequently misidentified as Klebsiella pneumoniae by conventional microbiological tests, raising questions about its real prevalence and clinical impact. K. variicola virulence is mediated by traits

Occurrence and Molecular Study of Hypermucoviscous/Hypervirulence Trait in Gut Commensal K. pneumoniae from Healthy Subjects

Microorganisms, 2023
Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp) is emerging worldwide. Hypermucoviscousity is the characteristic trait that distinguishes it from classic K. pneumoniae (cKp), which enables Kp to cause severe invasive infections.
