Genomic dissection of Klebsiella pneumoniae infections in hospital patients reveals insights into an opportunistic pathogen

Nature Communications, 2022
Klebsiella pneumoniae is a major cause of opportunistic healthcare-associated infections, which are increasingly complicated by the presence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) and carbapenem resistance.

Epidemiological characteristics and molecular evolution mechanisms of carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-hvKP), a type of Klebsiella pneumoniae (KP) that exhibits hypervirulence and carbapenem resistance phenotypes, can cause severe infections, both hospital- and community-acquired infections.

Capsule type defines the capability of Klebsiella pneumoniae in evading Kupffer cell capture in the liver

PLoS Pathogens, 2022
Polysaccharide capsule is the main virulence factor of K. pneumoniae, a major pathogen of bloodstream infections in humans. While more than 80 capsular serotypes have been identified in K.

Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae – clinical and molecular perspectives

Journal of Internal Medicine, 2020
Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp) has emerged as a concerning global pathogen. hvKp is more virulent than classical K. pneumoniae (cKp) and capable of causing community‐acquired infections, often in healthy individuals.

Cross-protection and cross-feeding between Klebsiella pneumoniae and Acinetobacter baumannii promotes their co-existence

Nature Communications, 2022
Acinetobacter baumannii and Klebsiella pneumoniae are opportunistic pathogens frequently co-isolated from polymicrobial infections. The infections where these pathogens co-exist can be more severe and recalcitrant to therapy than infections caused by ...
