Characteristics of Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae: Does Low Expression of rmpA Contribute to the Absence of Hypervirulence? [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 Multidrug-resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (MDR-hvKP) has been increasingly reported and is now recognized as a significant threat to public health; however, characterization of MDR-hvKP has not been systematically investigated.

The Occurence of Colistin-Resistant Hypervirulent Klebsiellapneumoniae in China [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae strains are usually susceptible to many antimicrobial agents including colistin. Here we report the isolation and characterization of several colistin-resistant hypervirulent K. pneumoniae clinical strains.

Virulence Factors in Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKP) has spread globally since first described in the Asian Pacific Rim. It is an invasive variant that differs from the classical K. pneumoniae (cKP), with hypermucoviscosity and hypervirulence, causing community-acquired infections, including pyogenic liver abscess, pneumonia, meningitis, and endophthalmitis.

Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae [PDF]
Clinical Microbiology Reviews, 2019 Hypervirulent K. pneumoniae (hvKp) is an evolving pathotype that is more virulent than classical K. pneumoniae (cKp). hvKp usually infects individuals from the community, who are often healthy.

Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae [PDF]
Open Forum Infectious Diseases, 2014 Abstract Hypervirulent strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae are associated with abscess formation, commonly hepatic, and metastatic spread, even in healthy patients. We describe a case of this clinical syndrome, genotypic and phenotypic features of the isolate, and briefly review epidemiology, clinical manifestations, and pathogenesis of ...

Emergence of colistin-resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (CoR-HvKp) in China
Emerging Microbes and Infections, 2022 Colistin is regarded as a last-resort agent to combat infections caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacteria, especially carbapenem-resistant isolates.

Pathogenesis of Hypervirulent Group A Streptococcus [PDF]
Japan Journal of Medicine, 2018 Group A Streptococcus (GAS) causes common pharyngitis and skin infections and occasional severe invasive infections. This review describes the recent progress on the pathogenesis of hypervirulent GAS. CovRS mutations are frequent among invasive GAS isolates and lead to hypervirulence. GAS CovRS mutants can be selected in vivo by neutrophils.
