Prevalence and features of hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae in respiratory specimens at a US hospital system

Infection and Immunity
Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp) strains are considered to be relatively rare in the United States, but cases are increasingly reported. We prospectively and serially collected K. pneumoniae clinical isolates identified in respiratory specimens

The hypervirulent Type-1/Type-17 phenotype of Cryptococcus neoformans clinical isolates is specific to A/J mice

Infection and Immunity
Cryptococcus neoformans is a fungal pathogen that causes cryptococcal meningitis in immunocompromised individuals. Both host- and pathogen-specific factors are known to affect patient outcome, and recent studies showed that strain-specific differences in
