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

BMC 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.
