Capsular serotypes of 225 Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates in Taiwan were identified by using PCR. Patients infected with K1 serotypes (41 isolates) had increased community-onset bacteremia, more nonfatal diseases and liver abscesses, lower Pittsburgh bacteremia scores and mortality rates, and fewer urinary tract infections than patients infected with non-K1/K2 serotypes (147 isolates).
采用 PCR 法对台湾地区 225 株肺炎克雷伯菌分离株的荚膜血清型进行了鉴定。感染 K1 血清型(41 株)的患者社区获得性菌血症增加,非致命性疾病和肝脓肿更多,匹兹堡菌血症评分和死亡率更低,尿路感染更少,而非 K1/K2 血清型(147 株)感染患者。
