Description

Carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae or CR-hvKP is a strain of Klebsiella pneumoniae. This bacterium combines two traits: hypervirulence and resistance to carbapenem antibiotics.Carbapenems are many times used as a last resort for treating infections of a bacterial nature.[1]Ceftazidime/avibactam has demonstrated some effectiveness against CR-hvKP.[2] In China sequence type 11 (ST11) dominates the majority of CRhvKP strains.[3]

Presentation

In terms of the presentation of Carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae we find:fever, chills, vomiting, abdominal pain and nausea.[4]

Complications

As to the complications possibly exhibited by an infected individual we find:pyogenic liver abscess, endophthalmitis and meningitis.[3]

Mechanism

As to the mechanism, one finds that carbapenem antibiotic treatment becomes ineffective because CR-hvKP strains produce enzymes such as New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase that break down carbapenem antibiotics.[5][6]Overexpression of efflux pumps helps the bacteria expel antibiotics, thereby reducing their effectiveness.[6]

Diagnosis

Diagnosis of Carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae involves the following: the symptoms exhibited by the person and PCR (lab identification).[7][8]

Differential diagnosis

Other conditions that may appear similar include the following:classic Klebsiella pneumoniae and other K. pneumoniae strains.[8]

Treatment

In terms of management we find that while a review article by Lei, et al indicates "currently, there are no effective methods for treating and surveillance of this pathogen": we also find that a 2022 article per Tang, et al indicates ceftazidime/avibactam combination has shown some effectiveness against CR-hvKP in a hospitalized individual.[9][2]

Epidemiology 1

The World Health Organization for its part has indicated that, "countries should strengthen clinical and public health awareness for the detection of carbapenem resistance (CR)-hvKp".[1] (CR)-hvKp has been identified in all six WHO regions; Africa, Americas, Eastern Mediterranean, South-East Asia, European and Western Pacific region.[1]Strain ST23-K1 was detected and reported to WHO by Algeria, Argentina, Australia, Canada, India, Iran, Japan, Oman, Philippines, Switzerland, Thailand and United Kingdom.[1] A separate report indicates Chile as well.[10]

Epidemiology 2

In terms of prevalence in healthcare settings we find that CR-hvKP is becoming a dominant nosocomial pathogen. Studies have indicated that certain sequence types( ST11) are highly prevalent among CR-hvKP isolates.[11]

History

Carl Friedlander first described Klebsiella pneumoniae from the lungs of people who had died from pneumonia in 1882. The bacterium was originally called Friedlander's bacillus, but was later renamed Klebsiella. [12]The first carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae strains were identified in 1996. This development of CRKP strains is due to the frequent use of antimicrobials.[13]
