Hypervirulent K. pneumoniae ( hvKP) strain on CLED agar of Urine culture

Summary[edit]

Description
English: Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKP) is a particular strain of Klebsiella pneumoniae that exhibits enhanced virulence compared to typical strains. While Klebsiella pneumoniae is a common cause of various infections, including urinary tract infections, pneumonia, and bloodstream infections. Management of infections caused by hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae strains may differ from typical Klebsiella pneumoniae infections due to their increased virulence and potential for severe clinical outcomes. Treatment typically involves appropriate antimicrobial therapy, often with a combination of antibiotics, depending on the site and severity of the infection. Surgical intervention may be necessary for conditions such as liver abscesses.
