Transmission of Nonconjugative Virulence or Resistance Plasmids Mediated by a Self-Transferable IncN3 Plasmid from Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum, 2022
Klebsiella pneumoniae poses a critical challenge to clinical and public health. Along with conjugative plasmids, nonconjugative resistance or virulence plasmids associated with carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae (CRKP), hypervirulent K. pneumoniae (hvKP),

Hypervirulent (hypermucoviscous)Klebsiella pneumoniae [PDF]

open access: yesVirulence, 2013
A new hypervirulent (hypermucoviscous) variant of Klebsiella pneumoniae has emerged. First described in the Asian Pacific Rim, it now increasingly recognized in Western countries. Defining clinical features are the ability to cause serious, life-threatening community-acquired infection in younger healthy hosts, including liver abscess, pneumonia ...

Pyogenic spondylitis caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae: Should the possibility of hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae be considered?

open access: yesBMC Infectious Diseases, 2022
Abstract Background Klebsiella pneumoniae is rare but the second most common causative agent among gram-negative bacteria that cause pyogenic spondylitis. However, there are no available studies on the serotype, virulence factors, and clinical characteristics associated with K. pneumoniae-caused pyogenic spondylitis.

Hypermucoviscous Klebsiella pneumoniae: A Hypervirulent Strain Masquerading as Metastasis

open access: yesCureus, 2023
Hypermucoviscous Klebsiella pneumoniae (HvKP) is a hypervirulent strain of Klebsiella that causes metastatic spread and life-threatening infection. While it is more common among people of Asian descent, it has been increasingly reported globally among people of other ethnicities as well.
