We describe a case of endogenous endophthalmitis caused by sequence type 66-K2 hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae in a diabetic patient with no travel history outside the United States. Genomic analysis showed the pathogen has remained highly conserved, retaining >98% genetic similarity to the original strain described in Indonesia in 1935.
我们描述了一例由序列型66-K2高毒力肺炎克雷伯菌引起的内源性眼内炎病例,患者为一名糖尿病患者,无美国境外旅行史。基因组分析显示,该病原体一直高度保守,与1935年在印度尼西亚描述的原始菌株保持着>98%的基因相似性。
