Abstract excerpt
Klebsiella pneumoniae (Kp) has emerged as a global life-threatening pathogen owing to its multidrug resistance and hypervirulence phenotype. Several fatal outbreaks of carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent Kp have been reported recently. Hypermucoviscosity (HMV) is a phenotype commonly associated with hypervirulence of Kp, which is usually regulated by rmpA or rmpA2 (regulators of the mucoid phenotype). Here, we...
