Abstrakt: Infections with hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp) commonly presents with primary liver infection, bacteremia, and metastatic abscesses. Here, we present 2 cases of severe community-acquired pulmonary infections by hvKp in patients in the Netherlands without recent travel history. Both bacterial isolates are closely related to an archetype ST23 hvKp reference isolate. Based on these findings, surveillance programs on hvKp may consider to include isolates from community-acquired pneumonia by K. pneumoniae.
