Klebsiella pneumoniae capsular polysaccharide: Mechanism in regulation of synthesis, virulence, and pathogenicity

Virulence
Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae exhibits strong pathogenicity and can cause severe invasive infections but is historically recognized as antibiotic-susceptible. In recent years, the escalating global prevalence of antibiotic-resistant hypervirulent K.

WGS analysis of hypervirulent and MDR Klebsiella pneumoniae from Vietnam reveales an inverse relationship between resistome and virulome [PDF]

The emergence of Klebsiella (K.) pneumoniae as a leading cause of nosocomial infections in Southeast Asia is of concern. Vietnam has an outstanding position with regard to antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) pathogens and is a hotspot for carbapenem-resistant ...

A Klebsiella-phage cocktail to broaden the host range and delay bacteriophage resistance both in vitro and in vivo

npj Biofilms and Microbiomes
Bacteriophages (phages), viruses capable of infecting and lysing bacteria, are a promising alternative for treating infections from hypervirulent, antibiotic-resistant pathogens like Klebsiella pneumoniae, though narrow host range and phage resistance ...

HYPERVIRULENT KLEBSIELLA PNEUMONIAE BLOODSTREAM ISOLATES IN THE UNITED ARAB EMIRATES [PDF]

, 2019
As the presence of hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKP) has not been studied in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), the aim was to determine its rate among bloodstream isolates collected in a tertiary care hospital during two years. K. pneumoniae blood

Mobile genetic elements encoding antibiotic resistance genes and virulence genes in Klebsiella pneumoniae: important pathways for the acquisition of virulence and resistance

Frontiers in Microbiology
Klebsiella pneumoniae is an opportunistic pathogen primarily associated with nosocomial infections, characterized by a propensity for multi-drug resistance and the potential evolution into hypervirulent strains.
