Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp): Overview, Epidemiology, and Laboratory Detection

24 Jan 2025

Abstract excerpt

Klebsiella pneumoniae (Kp) is a Gram-negative pathogen responsible for both hospital- and community-acquired infections. Kp is classified into 2 distinct pathotypes: classical K. pneumoniae (cKp) and hypervirulent K. pneumoniae (hvKp). First described in Taiwan in 1986, hvKp are highly pathogenic and characterized by unique phenotypic and genotypic traits. The hypermucoviscous (hmv) phenotype, generally marked by...
