CRISPR/Cas diagnostics for Klebsiella pneumoniae: from resistance and hypervirulence markers to clinically interpretable risk reporting [PDF]
Frontiers in Bioengineering and BiotechnologyKlebsiella pneumoniae (Kp) is a major cause of healthcare-associated and community-onset invasive infections. The emergence of carbapenem-resistant Kp (CRKP), hypervirulent Kp (hvKp), and resistance–hypervirulence convergence has increased the need for ...

Identification of a hypervirulent extensively drug-resistant ST383 Klebsiella pneumoniae sub-lineage carrying ICEKp5 in Lebanon [PDF]
Antimicrobial Agents and ChemotherapyKlebsiella pneumoniae ST383 has emerged as a high-risk clone, characterized by carbapenem resistance and increasing detection of hypervirulence determinants. We describe a phylogenetically distinct ST383 sub-lineage in Lebanon, defined by the acquisition

Differential Virulence by Strains of Cucumber mosaic virus is Mediated by the 2b Gene
Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2002 The approximately 12-kDa 2b protein, encoded by all cucumoviruses, had been shown to play an important role in viral long-distance movement, hypervirulence, and suppression of post-transcriptional gene silencing.
