Background: Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) is a microorganism associated with hospital acquired infections worldwide. There is hypervirulent (hvKp) variant of this microorganism with enhanced virulent characters that may be associated with antibiotics resistance. Aim: The aim of the present study was to detect the presence of hypervirulent K. pneumoniae among clinical isolates from pediatric patients with hospital acquired infections by Multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR). In addition, to study the association of this variety with carbapenem and Extended-Spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) antibiotics resistance.
