Carriage of hypervirulent and ESBL-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae complex among community-dwelling individuals in Japan

Applied and Environmental Microbiology
Despite the increasing number of reports on hypervirulent and extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae infections, data on the distribution of these pathogens in the community are limited.

Discovery of a Dual‐Target DNAzyme for Clostridioides difficile and Listeria monocytogenes Diagnostics

ChemistryEurope, Volume 4, Issue 3, March 2026.
A newly discovered fluorogenic DNAzyme, RFD‐CD3, enables rapid and sensitive detection of Clostridioides difficile and—unexpectedly—Listeria monocytogenes, making it the first dual‐responsive DNAzyme for two unrelated bacterial pathogens. Its strong catalytic efficiency, pH‐tolerant activity, and modular trans‐acting design position it as a promising ...

Validation of Hexaplex Recombinase Polymerase Amplification Assay for the Detection of Carbapenemase Genes in Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolates From Pediatric Inpatients

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, Volume 40, Issue 4, February 2026.
A novel hexaplex recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) method was developed to rapidly and accurately detect five key carbapenemase genes and a Klebsiella pneumoniae‐specific target in a single reaction. This makes it an effective tool for CRKP detection in resource‐constrained environments.

Differences in molecular characteristics and expression of virulence genes in carbapenem-resistant and sensitive Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates in Ningbo, China

Frontiers in Microbiology
BackgroundIn recent years, Klebsiella pneumoniae has attracted attention because of its increasing drug resistance. At the same time, the migration and pathogenicity caused by its virulence genes also bring many difficulties to the diagnosis and ...
