Getting hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae on the radar screen

Current Opinion in Infectious Diseases, 2018
Purpose of review Two pathotypes of Klebsiella pneumoniae cause human infections, classical (cKp) and hypervirulent (hvKp) K. pneumoniae. The present understanding of genetic elements, the need for an accurate test to identify hvKp, the clinical implications of infection, the knowledge gap on how and why hvKp colonization ...

Emergence of Carbapenemase-Producing Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae in Switzerland

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2023
Increasing occurrence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) and hypervirulent (hv) Klebsiella pneumoniae (MDR-hvKp) convergent clones is being observed. Those strains have the potential of causing difficult-to-treat infections in healthy adults with an increased capacity for mortality.

Primary osteomyelitis caused by hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae

The Lancet Infectious Diseases, 2016
Klebsiella pneumoniae is the most clinically relevant species of this genus, known to cause both community-acquired and nosocomial infections worldwide. In the past two decades, a distinct hypervirulent strain of K pneumoniae, characterised by its hypermucoviscous phenotype, has emerged as a clinically significant pathogen responsible for highly ...

Hypervirulent Klebsiella Pneumoniae Osteomyelitis in a Child

Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal
An 18-month-old boy presented with septic arthritis and osteomyelitis caused by Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae harboring cardinal virulence genes. The condition necessitated several surgical interventions, and a prolonged course of antibiotic therapy to effectively manage the severe infection and prevent complications, highlighting the challenges ...

Evolutionary transition of hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae to multidrug-resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae: Indian experience

Indian Journal of Medical Microbiology
An emerging pathotype of Klebsiella pneumoniae, initially identified in Southeast Asian countries, has now spread to multiple countries, including India. These convergent strains, carrying both resistance and virulence determinants, are classified as multidrug-resistant Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (MDR-HvKp).

Investigations of carbapenem resistant and hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae

Acta Microbiologica et Immunologica Hungarica
AbstractHypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae is an emerging pathogen that has gained attention due to its increased ability to cause infections even in healthy individuals. The aim of this study is to investigate virulence factors in K. pneumoniae strains isolated from clinical specimens and their association with carbapenem resistance.

Pediatric hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae septic arthritis

Pediatrics International, 2016
AbstractCases of infection with hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae are gradually increasing in number, and cause life‐threatening community‐acquired infection even in immunocompetent patients. A 14‐year‐old boy developed septic hip arthritis due to hypervirulent K. pneumoniae (sequence type 23, serotype K1, magA positive). The patient initially seemed

Clinical and laboratory insights into the threat of hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae

International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents
Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKP) typically causes severe invasive infections affecting multiple sites in healthy individuals. In the past, hvKP was characterized by a hypermucoviscosity phenotype, susceptibility to antimicrobial agents, and its tendency to cause invasive infections in healthy individuals within the community.
