Hypervirulent (hypermucoviscous) Klebsiella pneumoniae: a new and dangerous breed.

Virulence - 15 Feb 2013

Shon Alyssa S, Bajwa Rajinder P S, Russo Thomas A

Abstract excerpt

A new hypervirulent (hypermucoviscous) variant of Klebsiella pneumoniae has emerged. First described in the Asian Pacific Rim, it now increasingly recognized in Western countries. Defining clinical features are the ability to cause serious, life-threatening community-acquired infection in younger healthy hosts, including liver abscess, pneumonia, meningitis and endophthalmitis and the ability to metastatically...
