Hypermucoviscosity in Klebsiella pneumoniae: manifestation, regulation, and roles in pathogenesis.

Journal of bacteriology - 20 Aug 2026

Dey Tamal, Shankar Manoharan

Abstract excerpt

In recent years, Klebsiella pneumoniae (Kpn) has evolved into a global public health threat. Convergent Kpn lineages that are both hypervirulent and multidrug-resistant have emerged and can cause community-acquired, drug-resistant infections, with increased mortality. A major driver of hypervirulence in Kpn is hypermucoviscosity (HMV), a phenotype historically associated with increased capsular polysaccharide...
