Case Reports in Infectious Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Background Disseminated Klebsiella pneumoniae infection that concurrently produces a liver abscess, bilateral pulmonary abscesses and necrotising fasciitis is uncommon in patients without overt immunocompromise. Definitive designation of a hypervirulent strain requires the string test and virulence‐gene testing, which are not always available at the ...

Hypermucoviscous Klebsiella syndrome it's in the community!
JPMA. The Journal of the Pakistan Medical Association, 2019 Hypermucoviscous Klebsiella syndrome is a unique syndrome caused by a new variant of Klebsiella pneumoniae (KP), characterized by abscess formation at distant body sites. This emerging KP strain is different from the usual classic strains in having the rmp gene which increases capsule formation making this strain resistant to phagocytosis and helping ...

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2017 A distinctive syndrome caused by hypermucoviscous Klebsiella pneumoniae (HMKP) including pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) is now becoming a globally emerging disease. In the present study, 22.8% (84/369) of K. pneumoniae clinical isolates associated with various types of invasive infections were identified as HMKP, with 45.2% associated with PLA ...
