Dramatic increase in slaughter condemnations due to Escherichia coli ST23 and ST101 within the Danish broiler production

Veterinary Microbiology, 2023
Escherichia coli constitutes a major challenge to poultry even when the prevalence of colibacillosis is low. Additionally, specific E. coli strains can severely enhance the detrimental effects on productivity, animal welfare and antimicrobial use. In 2019-2020, a dramatic increase in colibacillosis occurred among Danish broilers causing late-onset ...

Ruptured Emphysematous Prostatic Abscess Caused by K1-ST23 Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae Presenting as Brain Abscesses: A Case Report and Literature Review

Frontiers in Medicine, 2022
Emphysematous prostatic abscess (EPA) is an extremely rare but potentially fatal urinary tract infection (UTI). Here, we describe a case (a 69-year-old male with prediabetes) of ruptured EPA caused by a hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp) K1-ST23 ...

Molecular characteristics and pathogenic mechanisms of KPC-3 producing hypervirulent carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (ST23-K1) [PDF]

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
ObjectiveThis study aimed to comprehensively investigate hypervirulent carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-hvKP) in the Ningbo region. Importantly, we sought to elucidate its molecular characteristics and pathogenic mechanisms. This information will provide evidence-based insights for preventing and controlling nosocomial infections and ...

Legionella pneumophila—Epidemiology and Characterization of Clinical Isolates, Slovenia, 2006–2020

Diagnostics, 2021
Legionella pneumophila is the causative agent of severe Legionnaires’ disease (LD). Although an increasing number of LD cases have been observed, published data from Slovenia are very limited and data on molecular epidemiology are even scarcer.

Deciphering shared receptor usage in genomically unrelated bacteriophages infecting hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae K1 ST23

FEMS Microbes
Abstract Klebsiella pneumoniae is a critical pathogen often associated with multidrug resistance and hypervirulence. We report the isolation and characterization of three distinct lytic bacteriophages—Spear, Loop, and Shorty—from sewage, using a hypervirulent, hypermucoid K. pneumoniae K1 ST23 strain as the host.
