A Case Series of Hypermucoid Klebsiella pneumoniae Liver Abscess in Caucasian Americans Without Travel History: An Epidemiologic Shift?

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp) is an emerging cause of community‐acquired pyogenic liver abscess (PLA), classically described in East and Southeast Asia. We report two cases of hvKp‐associated PLA in Caucasian women of American origin with no history of international travel, animal exposure, or Asian food consumption. Both patients

Photodynamic inactivation of Klebsiella pneumoniae biofilms and planktonic cells by 5-aminolevulinic acid and 5-aminolevulinic acid methyl ester [PDF]

, 2016
The treatment of Klebsiella pneumoniae, particularly extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing K. pneumoniae, is currently a great challenge. Photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy is a promising approach for killing antibiotic-resistant bacteria ...

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 ...

Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae serotype K1 clinical isolates form robust biofilms at the air-liquid interface [PDF]

, 2020
The prevalence of a new hypervirulent and hypermucoviscous K. pneumoniae phenotype (Hmv) is increasing worldwide, mainly linked to serotypes K1 and K2. Since capsular thickness can directly affect the capability to form biofilms, we aimed to evaluate the

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.
