Uncomplicated pharyngitis due to family transmission of hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae [PDF]

We describe two cases of uncomplicated pharyngitis caused by hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp) in a family, initially in an immunocompetent adolescent, followed by possible household spread resulting in similar presentations in the patient's ...

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.

[Meningitis and myelitis by hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae].

Medicina
Invasive liver abscess syndrome caused by hypervirulent Klebsiella. pneumoniae is a rare disease. This type of K. pneumoniae is aggressive and invasive, despite its sensitivity profile. We report the case of a 62-year-old man with diabetes mellitus, who was admitted to our hospital with meningeal syndrome.

Overexpression of blaSHV-12 caused by tandem amplification contributed to ceftazidime/avibactam resistance in hypervirulent and carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae

We identified a novel ceftazidime/avibactam (CAZ/AVI) resistance mechanism in endemic sequence type 11 hypervirulent and carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from a patient who had not been exposed CAZ/AVI.
