Uncomplicated pharyngitis due to family transmission of hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae.
We describe two cases of uncomplicated pharyngitis caused by hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp) in a family, initially in an immunocompetent adolescent, followed by possible household spread resulting in similar presentations in the patient's parent. Genomic analysis confirmed hvKp from the two cases were genetically identical and typed as K2-ST3252. Nasopharyngeal carriage and respiratory secretion/droplet may play an important yet underrecognized role in the transmission of hvKp. Enhancing routine screening for hvKp in the upper respiratory culture, followed by genotyping provides an effective pathway for early diagnosis.
