Draft genome sequences of two hypermucoviscous carbapenem-resistant ST25 Klebsiella pneumoniae strains causing respiratory and systemic infections

open access: yes, 2021
Objectives: The emergence and spread of hypermucoviscous KPC-2-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae strains belonging to the sequence type 25 (ST25) clone was reported recently in Northwest Argentina as a leading cause of nosocomial infections.

Antimicrobial Resistance, Virulence, and Genomic Characteristics of Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolated From Four Host Sources in Northeast China

open access: yesTransboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Klebsiella pneumoniae is an important emerging pathogen leading to serious clinical outcomes as the multidrug‐resistant (MDR) isolates arise. While K. pneumoniae is a well‐known pathogen in human clinical settings, its risks in nonhuman hosts and potential for cross‐species transmission remain poorly understood. In this study, we performed whole‐genome

Epidemiological and Genomic Characteristics of blaCTX-M and blaNDM‐Producing K. pneumoniae From Dairy Cows in Henan Province, China

open access: yesTransboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Extended‐spectrum β‐lactamase (ESBL) and carbapenemase‐producing Klebsiella spp., particularly K. pneumoniae, are emerging threats in both clinical and community settings. To investigate the epidemiology, phylogenetics, and antimicrobial resistance of bovine‐origin strains, 174 bacterial isolates were obtained from 180 mastitic milk samples across ...

Hypermucoviscous Klebsiella syndrome it's in the community!

open access: yesJPMA. 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 ...

Increasing Occurrence of Antimicrobial-Resistant Hypervirulent (Hypermucoviscous) Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolates in China [PDF]

open access: yesClinical Infectious Diseases, 2013
New hypervirulent variants of Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKP) are emerging globally, most of which exhibit antimicrobial susceptibility.A retrospective study was conducted in 88 patients with cultures positive for K. pneumoniae hospitalized in the Beijing You'an Hospital from April 2010 to June 2012.

Characterization and Therapeutic Potential of a Novel Lytic Bacteriophage vB_Kp_H122 Targeting Multidrug‐Resistant Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae of K57 Capsular Type

open access: yesTransboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Klebsiella pneumoniae is an important zoonotic opportunistic pathogen. Of particular concern is the emergence of multidrug‐resistant hypervirulent K. pneumoniae (MDR‐hvKP), which represents a serious public health threat. Bacteriophage (phage) therapy has emerged as a promising solution to combat antibiotic‐resistant K. pneumoniae infections.

Carbapenem Resistance Conferred by OXA-48 in K2-ST86 Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae, France

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2020
We recovered 2 carbapenem-resistant K2-ST86 hypermucoviscous Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates from patients in France. The isolates had genetic attributes of hypervirulent K. pneumoniae but differed in ability to cause mouse lethality.

Antibacterial and Antibiotic‐Enhancing Activity of 3‐Hydroxy‐4‐methoxycinnamic Acid: Experimental Data and In Silico Predictions

open access: yesChemistrySelect, Volume 10, Issue 47, December 15, 2025.
ABSTRACT The growing bacterial resistance, driven by the inappropriate use of antibiotics, poses a global health threat and demands new therapeutic strategies. Natural phenolic compounds, such as 3‐hydroxy‐4‐methoxycinnamic acid (3H4MCA), stand out due to their antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, showing potential in combating resistant pathogens.

Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae as Unexpected Cause of Fatal Outbreak in Captive Marmosets, Brazil

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2020
After the sudden death of captive marmosets in São Paulo, Brazil, we conducted a histologic and microbiologic study. We found hyperacute septicemia caused by hypermucoviscous sequence type 86 K2 Klebsiella pneumoniae.
