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 ptsH in Hypervirulence Development in Klebsiella pneumoniae. [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 ...

A Potential High-Risk Clone of Pseudomonas aeruginosa ST463
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most common opportunistic pathogens, which causes severe nosocomial infections because of its well-known multidrug-resistance and hypervirulence. It is critical to curate routinely the epidemic P.

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

Construction of a Hypervirulent and Specific Mycoinsecticide for Locust Control [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2014 Locusts and grasshoppers (acridids) are among the worst pests of crops and grasslands worldwide. Metarhizium acridum, a fungal pathogen that specifically infects acridids, has been developed as a control agent but its utility is limited by slow kill time and greater expense than chemical insecticides.
