SpxA1 and SpxA2 act coordinately to fine-tune stress responses and virulence in Streptococcus pyogenes [PDF]
, 2017 SpxA is a unique transcriptional regulator highly conserved among members of the phylum Firmicutes that binds RNA polymerase and can act as an antiactivator. Why some Firmicutes members have two highly similar SpxA paralogs is not understood.

String test of hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumonia [PDF]
QJM, 2014 A 63-year-old woman with a history of type 1 diabetes mellitus and IgA nephropathy, on maintenance dialysis for 10 years, presented with exertional dyspnea of 1 week’s duration and bloody sputum since the previous day. On the day of admission, the patient had awoken with clouding of consciousness; she was brought to the emergency outpatient department

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 making of hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae
Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, 2022 AbstractKlebsiella pneumoniae is a notorious bacterium in clinical practice. Virulence, carbapenem‐resistance and their convergence among K. pneumoniae are extensively discussed in this article. Hypervirulent K. pneumoniae (HvKP) has spread from the Asian Pacific Rim to the world, inducing various invasive infections, such as pyogenic liver abscess ...

Role of glucose and CcpA in capsule expression and virulence of Streptococcus suis [PDF]
, 2011 Streptococcus suis is one of the most important pathogens in pigs and is also an emerging zoonotic agent. After crossing the epithelial barrier, S. suis causes bacteraemia, resulting in meningitis, endocarditis and bronchopneumonia.

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.
