Klebsiella species: Taxonomy, hypervirulence and multidrug resistance

open access: yeseBioMedicine, 2022
Members of the genus Klebsiella have rapidly evolved within the past decade, generating organisms that simultaneously exhibit both multidrug resistance and hypervirulence (MDR-hv) phenotypes; such organisms are associated with severe hospital- and community-acquired infections.

Peculiar purulence: Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae causing pyomyositis [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2017
This report describes the first confirmed case of isolated pyomyositis caused by a hypervirulent strain of Klebsiella pneumoniae. Pyomyositis is almost universally caused by gram-positive organisms and while the recent emergence of invasive disease due to hypervirulent K.

An Outbreak of ST859-K19 Carbapenem-Resistant Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae in a Chinese Teaching Hospital

open access: yesmSystems, 2022
Carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-hvKP) has been increasingly reported worldwide. Here, we report an outbreak caused by sequence type 859-K19 (ST859-K19) CR-hvKP isolates in a teaching hospital in China.

Whole-Genome Sequencing-Based Characterization of 100 Listeria monocytogenes Isolates Collected from Food Processing Environments over a Four-Year Period [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Listeria monocytogenes is frequently found in foods and processing facilities, where it can persist, creating concerns for the food industry. Its ability to survive under a wide range of environmental conditions enhances the potential for cross ...

Hypervirulent strains of Clostridium difficile [PDF]

open access: yesPostgraduate Medical Journal, 2007
Abstract North America has seen increasing numbers of hospitalised patients and others in nursing homes and the community, with more severe Clostridium difficile associated diarrhoea. This is also described in Northern Europe and surveillance systems are being developed or improved to monitor the situation.

Eco‐Geography Reverses Dominant AMR Reservoirs in Klebsiella pneumoniae: Integron‐Rich Mobilomes and Cross‐Niche Connectivity

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Dominant antimicrobial resistance reservoirs in Klebsiella pneumoniae vary across eco‐geographic settings rather than following a universal pattern. Integrated One Health and global genomic analyses show that lineage structure, integron load, and cross‐niche connectivity shape whether AMR burden accumulates primarily in human or nonhuman compartments ...

Phenotypic and Genotypic Detection of Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolated from Hospital-Acquired Infections

open access: yesMicroorganisms
Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae is a highly pathogenic variant of Klebsiella pneumonae, which represents a global public health issue because it is very virulent and spreads easily. The objectives of this study were to assess the predominance of hvKp

Potent monoclonal antibodies against multidrug‐resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae

open access: yesInterdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
A novel immunization strategy using a low‐virulence, multidrug‐resistant strain yields synergistic monoclonal antibodies against hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae. These antibodies provide cross‐serotype protection through a dual‐mechanism of pathogen clearance and immunomodulation, offering a promising non‐antibiotic therapeutic for resistant ...
