Occurrence and Molecular Study of Hypermucoviscous/Hypervirulence Trait in Gut Commensal K. pneumoniae from Healthy Subjects
9 Mar 2023
Abstract excerpt
Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp) is emerging worldwide. Hypermucoviscousity is the characteristic trait that distinguishes it from classic K. pneumoniae (cKp), which enables Kp to cause severe invasive infections. This research aimed to investigate the hypermucoviscous Kp (hmvKp) phenotype among gut commensal Kp isolated from healthy individuals and attempted to characterize the genes encoding virulence...
