ABSTRACT
An emerging pathotype of Klebsiella pneumoniae, initially identified in Southeast Asian countries, has now spread to multiple countries, including India. These convergent strains, carrying both resistance and virulence determinants, are classified as multidrug-resistant Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (MDR-HvKp). Since the initial reports, there has been a concerning surge in infections caused by this pathotype globally. In this context, we aim to shed light on the evolutionary changes that have taken place in this relatively novel pathotype. Understanding these changes is crucial for devising diagnosis and targeted intervention strategies to mitigate the spread of MDR-HvKp infections.
