Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae detection methods: a minireview

Archives of Microbiology, 2023
Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp), characterized by high virulence and epidemic potential, has become a global public health challenge. Therefore, improving the identification of hvKp and enabling earlier and faster detection in the community to support subsequent effective treatment and prevention of hvKp are an urgent issue. To address these

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.

Klebsiella pneumoniae in Singapore: Hypervirulent Infections and the Carbapenemase Threat [PDF]

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2017
Klebsiella pneumoniae remains a major pathogen responsible for localized infections such as cystitis and pneumonia, and disseminated infections that may result in severe sepsis and death. Invasive disease such as liver abscesses and endogenous endophthalmitis are associated with capsular serotypes K1 and K2.

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).

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
