Abstract Background Hypervirulent K. pneumoniae (hvKp) causes severe community
acquired infections, predominantly in Asia. Though initially isolated from liver abscesses …

The emergence and global expansion of hyper-virulent and multidrug resistant (MDR)
Klebsiella pneumoniae is an increasing healthcare threat worldwide. The epidemiology of …

Multidrug-resistant and highly virulent Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates are emerging, but the
clonal groups (CGs) corresponding to these high-risk strains have remained imprecisely …

Background Klebsiella species, including the notable pathogen K. pneumoniae, are
increasingly associated with antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Genome-based surveillance …

Klebsiella pneumoniae is a Gram-negative, encapsulated, non-motile bacterium, which
represents a global challenge to public health as one of the major causes of healthcare …

Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae infection is a rising public health threat due to
limited therapeutic options. Here, we report the genome sequence of a multidrug-resistant K …

Klebsiella pneumoniae is recognized as an urgent public health threat because of the
emergence of difficult-to-treat (DTR) strains and hypervirulent clones, resulting in infections …

Klebsiella pneumoniae is a leading cause of antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) healthcare-
associated infections, neonatal sepsis and community-acquired liver abscess, and is …

Background The emergence and spread of hypervirulent carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella
pneumoniae (hv-CRKP) is a potential epidemiological threat that needs to be monitored …

Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae strains have higher potential to cause more severe
and disseminated infections than classic K. pneumoniae strains. While initially reported from …
