Getting hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae on the radar screen

Current Opinion in Infectious Diseases, 2018
Purpose of review Two pathotypes of Klebsiella pneumoniae cause human infections, classical (cKp) and hypervirulent (hvKp) K. pneumoniae. The present understanding of genetic elements, the need for an accurate test to identify hvKp, the clinical implications of infection, the knowledge gap on how and why hvKp colonization ...

Clostridium difficile: Emergence of Hypervirulence and Fluoroquinolone Resistance

Infection, 2007
Clostridium difficile is a well-known cause of sporadic and healthcare-associated diarrhea. Multihospital outbreaks due to a single strain and outbreaks associated with antibiotic selective pressure, especially clindamycin, have been well documented. Severe cases and fatalities from C. difficile are uncommon.

Investigations of carbapenem resistant and hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae

Acta Microbiologica et Immunologica Hungarica
AbstractHypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae is an emerging pathogen that has gained attention due to its increased ability to cause infections even in healthy individuals. The aim of this study is to investigate virulence factors in K. pneumoniae strains isolated from clinical specimens and their association with carbapenem resistance.

Current Management Strategies for Hypervirulent Klebsiella

Infectious Disease Clinics of North America
Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (HvKp) is a highly invasive pathotype causing severe, community-acquired infections, unlike nosocomial classic K pneumoniae. First reported in 1986, HvKp is linked to liver abscess, bacteremia, and endophthalmitis, driven by K1/K2 polysaccharide capsule, hypermucoviscous capsule production and siderophores.

Primary osteomyelitis caused by hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae

The Lancet Infectious Diseases, 2016
Klebsiella pneumoniae is the most clinically relevant species of this genus, known to cause both community-acquired and nosocomial infections worldwide. In the past two decades, a distinct hypervirulent strain of K pneumoniae, characterised by its hypermucoviscous phenotype, has emerged as a clinically significant pathogen responsible for highly ...
