Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae Infection
Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp) is distinguished from classical K. pneumoniae by its ability to cause community-acquired, invasive infections, such as pyogenic liver abscess and endophthalmitis, even in healthy individuals, whereas the classical form typically leads to opportunistic healthcare-associated infections. Globally, the dominant clone responsible for these hypervirulent invasive infections is K. pneumoniae clonal group 23, which includes sequence type 23. Hypervirulent K. pneumoniae clones are typically characterized by the presence of capsular serotype K1 and a set of hypervirulence-associated genes, such as ybt , iuc , iro , rmpA , and rmpA2 , often encoded on dedicated hypervirulence plasmids. These genetic determinants are central to the hypervirulent phenotype. Although antimicrobial resistance has not traditionally been a hallmark of hvKp, the recent emergence of carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent K. pneumoniae has been increasingly reported worldwide. This topic showcases cutting-edge research on the mechanisms underlying hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae infections, with a particular focus on genetic and molecular factors driving both hypervirulence and antimicrobial resistance. We welcome the submission of original research articles, reviews, and perspectives that contribute to this rapidly evolving and exciting area of microbiology and medicine. Please contact Dr. Atsushi Togawa , Dr. Anthony R. Tam if you have any questions.

Introduction Electrocatalysis plays a pivotal role in sustainable energy conversion and storage technologies, such as water splitting, fuel cell, metal-air battery, CO 2 electroreduction, NH3 electrosynthesis, and biomass upgrading, providing great promise to address the ever-increasing energy depletion crisis and associated environmental problems. Among these sustainable energy technologies, a series of electrochemical reactions are key to dominating the overall system efficiency, including but not limited to the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), oxygen evolution reaction (OER), hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR), CO 2 reduction reaction (CO 2 RR), nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR), nitrate reduction reaction (NO 3 RR), chlorine evolution reaction (CER), methanol oxidation reaction (MOR), and urea oxidation reaction (UOR). However, these key reactions always possess intrinsically sluggish kinetics, thus necessitating the development of efficient electrocatalysts to expedite the reaction rate. This Special topic offers a timely platform to showcase cutting-edge research and perspectives on the rational design of advanced electrocatalysts that break new ground in activity, selectivity, and stability, with special emphasis on establishing accurate property-performance correlation. Topics will encompass electrocatalyst synthesis, advanced characterization (especially in-situ/operando techniques), mechanistic understanding studies, and high-efficiency device applications.
