Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae

Infection and Drug Resistance, 2023
Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKP), especially multidrug-resistant hvKP (MDR-hvKP) infections, are distributed globally, and lead to several outbreaks with high pathogenicity and mortality in immunocompetent individuals. This is usually characterized by a rapidly metastatic spread resulting in multiple pyogenic tissue abscesses.

Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae [PDF]

Open Forum Infectious Diseases, 2014
Abstract Hypervirulent strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae are associated with abscess formation, commonly hepatic, and metastatic spread, even in healthy patients. We describe a case of this clinical syndrome, genotypic and phenotypic features of the isolate, and briefly review epidemiology, clinical manifestations, and pathogenesis of ...

Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology Reviews, 2019
Hypervirulent K. pneumoniae (hvKp) is an evolving pathotype that is more virulent than classical K. pneumoniae (cKp). hvKp usually infects individuals from the community, who are often healthy.

Klebsiella pneumoniae Flocculation Dynamics [PDF]

Bulletin of Mathematical Biology, 2007
The bacterial pathogen Klebsiella pneumoniae is a cause of community- and hospital-acquired lung, urinary tract and blood stream infections. It is a common contaminant of indwelling catheters and it is theorized in that context that systemic infection follows shedding of aggregates off of surface-adherent biofilm colonies.

Skin TLR7 triggering promotes accumulation of respiratory dendritic cells and natural killer cells. [PDF]

, 2012
The TLR7 agonist imiquimod has been used successfully as adjuvant for skin treatment of virus-associated warts and basal cell carcinoma. The effects of skin TLR7 triggering on respiratory leukocyte populations are unknown.

Post-treatment with the PPAR-γ agonist pioglitazone inhibits inflammation and bacterial growth during Klebsiella pneumonia

Respiratory Research, 2021
Agonists of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-γ have been suggested as potential adjuvant therapy in bacterial pneumonia because of their capacity to inhibit inflammation and enhance bacterial clearance. Previous studies only assessed the

Klebsiella pneumoniae pneumonia

Heart & Lung, 1997
Klebsiella pneumoniae is an uncommon cause of community-acquired pneumonia except in alcoholics. Klebsiella may mimic pulmonary reactivation tuberculosis because it presents with hemoptysis and cavitating lesions. Klebsiella pneumoniae is a difficult infection to treat because of the organism's thick capsule.
