Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae have better clinical outcomes than classical Klebsiella pneumoniae for lower respiratory tract infection patients
These findings suggest that capsule serotype is a more accurate factor for the prediction of the virulence phenotype, while hvKp have better clinical outcomes than cKp for LRTI patients. Furthermore, the cKp-ST11 subgroup has the worst prognosis than cKp-nonST11 subgroup.
