Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae: Characteristic and clinical perspective
Background: Hypervirulent K. pneumoniae (hvKP). A virulent pathogen that has the ability to infect individuals in various age, has multiple ports of entry and cause infectious syndromes. Therefore urges an increase awareness and perspective on the characteristics and clinical feature of hvKP, to better understanding and providing appropriate treatment ...

C. anisata fruit extract and its compounds demonstrated potent broad‐spectrum antimicrobial activity, notably against Klebsiella pneumoniae (MIC 0.625 mg/mL; MLC 2.5 mg/mL) and Candida albicans (MIC 0.0781 mg/mL; MLC 0.625 mg/mL). The findings highlight promising bactericidal and fungicidal potential of stigmasteryl 3‐palmitate and phellopterin against

A rapid, cost‐effective dual‐detection strategy for Klebsiella pneumoniae K2 was developed by combining a label‐free AuNP colorimetric assay (LOD: 1.56 ng/μL, 60 min) with duplex PCR targeting K2A and orf10 genes (LOD: 1 pg/μL). This approach enables rapid screening with accurate genetic validation for point‐of‐care diagnostics in resource‐limited ...
