Emergence of hypervirulent <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> ST111 with a novel virulence plasmid causing pyogenic liver abscess
2025-11-27
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp)–associated pyogenic liver abscess is typically linked to K1/K2 capsule serotypes and canonical lineages such as ST23, ST65, and ST86. Cases outside these lineages are rare but pose significant public health concerns. We investigated an unusual liver abscess in an immunocompetent patient caused by hvKp sequence type 111 (ST111). Five isolates (KP1–KP5)...
