Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae typically presents as a community-acquired infection causing a liver abscess. It is often associated with rmpA and magA genes and confers a mucoid phenotype. Our aim was to evaluate the clinical presentation and antibiotic resistance of hypervirulent K. pneumoniae (hvKP) of health care-associated origin. The study was performed on 414 K. pneumoniae isolates recovered from patients that visited our hospital from December 2013 through November 2015. Hypervirulence was determined by the presence of a hypermucoviscous phenotype, in 155 isolates (37.4%). We compared health care-associated hvKP infections with community-acquired infections. The hypermucoviscous phenotype was 60 isolates (24.2%) in health care-associated infection and 90 isolates (53.8%) in community-acquired infection. Respiratory infection was the most common source of health care-associated K. pneumoniae. Antibiotic resistance was higher in health care-associated hvKP infections, which were more frequently associated with non-K1/K2 serotypes and less frequently associated with rmpA gene. In our study, 38% of hvKP was health care associated. Pneumonia is the most common infection, besides intraabdominal infection, in community-originating strains. These results suggest that health care-associated hvKP may have different microbiological characteristics from classical community-associated infections. Further investigation is needed for other virulent factors associated with health care-associated hvKP.
