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 ...

Virulence Factors in Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKP) has spread globally since first described in the Asian Pacific Rim. It is an invasive variant that differs from the classical K. pneumoniae (cKP), with hypermucoviscosity and hypervirulence, causing community-acquired infections, including pyogenic liver abscess, pneumonia, meningitis, and endophthalmitis.

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.

Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae [PDF]

Open Forum Infectious Diseases, 2014
Abstract Hypervirulent strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae are associated with abscess formation, commonly hepatic, and metastatic spread, even in healthy patients. We describe a case of this clinical syndrome, genotypic and phenotypic features of the isolate, and briefly review epidemiology, clinical manifestations, and pathogenesis of ...

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 ...

A Case Report of Endogenous Endophthalmitis Associated With a Pyogenic Liver Abscess Caused by Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae. [PDF]

Immun Inflamm Dis
ABSTRACT Objective Pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) caused by hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp) may be complicated by endogenous endophthalmitis (EE) and pneumonia. We herein report a case of a Chinese male patient with PLA and bilateral EE caused by hvKp to highlight the severe clinical outcomes of this condition.
