Sputum Gram stain of hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae

Journal of General and Family Medicine, 2023
Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae has virulence genes relevant to capsule overproduction, which could lead to the finding of thick transparent area ("halo") in Gram stain. In sputum Gram stain, observation of a large Gram-negative rod with a thick capsule may not only indicate that it is K. pneumoniae but also that it is a highly virulent strain.

Effects of gallic acid on capsular polysaccharide biosynthesis in Klebsiella pneumoniae

Journal of Microbiology, Immunology and Infection, 2022
Background: Klebsiella pneumoniae is a gram-negative opportunistic pathogen that causes diseases mostly in immunocompromised individuals. Recently, hypervirulent K. pneumoniae strains also cause severe disease in healthy individuals.

Clinical Epidemiology, Risk Factors, and Control Strategies of Klebsiella pneumoniae Infection

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Klebsiella species cause infections at multiple sites, including lung, urinary tract, bloodstream, wound or surgical site, and brain. These infections are more likely to occur in people with preexisting health conditions.

A global perspective on the convergence of hypervirulence and carbapenem resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae

Journal of Global Antimicrobial Resistance, 2021
Hypervirulence and carbapenem resistance have emerged as two distinct evolutionary directions for Klebsiella pneumoniae, which pose a great threat in clinical settings.

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 ...

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

Microbiology 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),
