Evolutionary transition of hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae to multidrug-resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae: Indian experience

Indian Journal of Medical Microbiology
An emerging pathotype of Klebsiella pneumoniae, initially identified in Southeast Asian countries, has now spread to multiple countries, including India. These convergent strains, carrying both resistance and virulence determinants, are classified as multidrug-resistant Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (MDR-HvKp).

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.

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.

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 ...

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.
