The characteristics of hypermucoviscosity isolates among Klebsiella pneumoniae causing community-acquired bacteremia were investigated. The hypermucoviscous phenotype was present in 8.2% of K pneumoniae isolates, and was associated with rmpA and the K2 serotype; liver abscesses were the most common clinical presentation. The present analysis represents the first population-based surveillance study of hypermucoviscosity among K pneumoniae causing bacteremia.
本研究旨在探讨引起社区获得性菌血症的肺炎克雷伯菌中超黏液表型的特征。结果显示,8.2%的肺炎克雷伯菌分离株具有超黏液表型,与 rmpA 和 K2 血清型相关;肝脓肿是最常见的临床表现。本分析代表了首个基于人群的引起菌血症的肺炎克雷伯菌中超黏液表型的监测研究。
