Highlights • Description of 4 cases outside Asia of invasive infection by hypervirulent K. pneumoniae.• These are patients from the community without any type of epidemiological background or previous trips to the endemic area.• Unlike other series in our case, these are patients without one of the classic risk factors: no patient is diabetic.• Patients present both serotype K1 and K2, not finding a prevalent serotype in our series.
