Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae
Infection and Drug Resistance, 2023 Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKP), especially multidrug-resistant hvKP (MDR-hvKP) infections, are distributed globally, and lead to several outbreaks with high pathogenicity and mortality in immunocompetent individuals. This is usually characterized by a rapidly metastatic spread resulting in multiple pyogenic tissue abscesses.

Antimicrobial Resistance of Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae: Epidemiology, Hypervirulence-Associated Determinants, and Resistance Mechanisms [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2017 Klebsiella pneumoniae is one of the most clinically relevant species in immunocompromised individuals responsible for community-acquired and nosocomial infections, including pneumonias, urinary tract infections, bacteremias, and liver abscesses. Since the mid-1980s, hypervirulent K. pneumoniae, generally associated with the hypermucoviscosity phenotype,

The potential role of the bacterial persister formation gene <i>ptsH</i> in hypervirulence development in <i>Кlebsiella pneumoniae</i> [PDF]
Acta NaturaePersistence – i.e., the ability to exist in a metabolically inactive form – allows bacteria to accumulate genetic advantages. The evolution of the pathogenic potential of Klebsiella pneumoniae has led to the emergence of strains simultaneously ...

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.
