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

Members of the genus Klebsiella have rapidly evolved within the past decade, generating
organisms that simultaneously exhibit both multidrug resistance and hypervirulence (MDR …

Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp) has emerged as a concerning global
pathogen. hvKp is more virulent than classical K. pneumoniae (cKp) and capable of causing …

The family Enterobacteriaceae has undergone significant morphogenetic changes in its
more than 85-year history, particularly during the past 2 decades (2000 to 2020). The …

Hypervirulence and carbapenem resistance have emerged as two distinct evolutionary
directions for Klebsiella pneumoniae, which pose a great threat in clinical settings. Multiple …

Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKP) has spread globally since first described in the
Asian Pacific Rim. It is an invasive variant that differs from the classical K. pneumoniae …

Klebsiella pneumoniae has an exceptional ability to acquire exogenous resistance-
encoding and hypervirulence-encoding genetic elements. In this review we trace the key …

The epidemiological features of the newly emerged carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent
Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-HvKP) and its potential threat to human health are currently …
