Peculiar purulence: Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae causing pyomyositis [PDF]

International 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 ...

Carbapenem Resistance Conferred by OXA-48 in K2-ST86 Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae, France

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2020
We recovered 2 carbapenem-resistant K2-ST86 hypermucoviscous Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates from patients in France. The isolates had genetic attributes of hypervirulent K. pneumoniae but differed in ability to cause mouse lethality.

Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae in Cryptogenic Liver Abscesses, Paris, France [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2018
Liver abscesses containing hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae have emerged during the past 2 decades, originally in Southeast Asia and then worldwide. We hypothesized that hypervirulent K. pneumoniae might also be emerging in France. In a retrospective,

Virulence factors in carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Hypervirulence and carbapenem-resistant have emerged as two distinct evolutionary pathotypes of Klebsiella pneumoniae, with both reaching their epidemic success and posing a great threat to public health. However, as the boundaries separating these two pathotypes fade, we assist a worrisome convergence in certain high-risk clones, causing hospital ...

Metastatic infection of hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae

IDCases
Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae(hvKp) has a unique ability to cause organ or life-threatening tissue invasive infection in multiple sites. This case highlights that classical hvKp resulted in multiple abscesses in every body site, especially in the necrotizing fasciitis and osteomyelitis.

Community-acquired liver abscess caused by capsular genotype K2-ST375 hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates

IDCases, 2019
Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae has been associated with community-acquired liver abscesses in relatively healthy subjects since the 1990s, occasionally accompanied by disseminated disease. While isolates of capsular genotype K1 belonging to sequence

Characterization of hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates in Belgium

European Journal of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases, 2022
Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp) raised concern worldwide. We studied 22 hvKp clinical invasive isolates referred to the Belgian national reference laboratory between 2014 and 2020. Sixty-four percent of the isolates expressed K2 capsular serotype and belonged to 7 different MLST lineages, while 32% expressed K1 (all belonging to ST23) and ...

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.
