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.

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.

The Occurence of Colistin-Resistant Hypervirulent Klebsiellapneumoniae in China [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae strains are usually susceptible to many antimicrobial agents including colistin. Here we report the isolation and characterization of several colistin-resistant hypervirulent K. pneumoniae clinical strains. K. pneumoniae strains recovered from blood samples were collected at a university hospital in China.

Metastatic infection of hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae

IDCases
Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae(hvKp) has a unique ability to cause organ or life-threatening tissue invasive infection in multiple sites. This case highlights that classical hvKp resulted in multiple abscesses in every body site, especially in the necrotizing fasciitis and osteomyelitis.

Carriage of hypervirulent and ESBL-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae complex among community-dwelling individuals in Japan [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology
Despite the increasing number of reports on hypervirulent and extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae infections, data on the distribution of these pathogens in the community are limited.

Cefiderocol resistance in a clinical ST11-KL64 hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae isolate mediated by a novel CirA truncation and SHV-12 β-lactamase [PDF]

BMC Microbiology
Background Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) infections have emerged as a major global public health threat. Cefiderocol is a novel siderophore-conjugated cephalosporin with potent activity to treat severe infections caused by CRKP.
