Abstract:
Klebsiella Pneumoniae is an important pathogen for various infections clinically,in which hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKP) mainly causes pyogenic liver abscess.By now,there are no standardized method to identify hvKP strains.hvKP strains are usually with hypermucoviscous phenotype,and the prevailing serotypes and clonal types are K1,K2 and CC23,CC65,respectively.Genes rmpA,magA,alls and kfu contribute to the pathogenicity of hvKP.This paper reviews the identification,clonal types and serotypes,hypermucoviscous phenotype and some other virulent genes of hvKP.
