The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Colonization, Infection, and the Accessory Genome of Klebsiella pneumoniae (2018, background): “pneumoniae (hvKP) include pyogenic liver abscess (PLA); endophthalmitis, an infection inside the eye; meningitis; and bloodstream infections (Fang et al., 2007).”
Hypervirulent (hypermucoviscous) Klebsiella pneumoniae (2013, background): “For clarity, the gene magA was initially reported as the mediator of the hypermucoviscous phenotype, but has since been clarified as being the K1 specific capsular polymerase gene (wzy_K1).(26,63) Although the mechanism by which RmpA/RmpA2 mediates mucoviscosity is still being investigated, details ”
Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (2014, background): “pneumoniae remain largely pan-sensitive for now, usually only resistant to ampicillin [8].”
Identification of Biomarkers for Differentiation of Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae from Classical K. pneumoniae (2018, methodology): “pneumoniae infection in otherwise healthy individuals that often presented in multiple sites or subsequently spread (metastatic spread) (4, 5).”
