Klebsiella pneumoniae ( K. pneumoniae ) causes community-acquired and hospital-acquired pneumonia. The mortality rates of invasive infections caused by hypervirulent K. pneumoniae (HvKP) are extremely high. However, the microbiological characteristics and clinical manifestations of K. pneumoniae in AnHui province still remain unclear.
