Exploring dangerous connections between Klebsiella pneumoniae biofilms and healthcare-associated infections [PDF]
, 2014 Healthcare-associated infections (HAI) are a huge public health concern,particularly when the etiological agents are multidrug resistant. The ability of bacteria to develop biofilm is a helpful skill, both to persist within hospital units and to ...

Hypervirulent (hypermucoviscous)Klebsiella pneumoniae [PDF]
Virulence, 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 ...

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 ...
