We report a case of Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteraemia in an 80-year-old man in France with no history of travel to Asia, complicated by endogenous endophthalmitis, multiple cerebral microbleeds and hepatic microabscesses, associated with a Bentall endocarditis. Hypervirulence pathotype was suggested based on clinical picture, bacterial isolate genomic sequence and hypermucoidy. Interestingly, the isolate had the non-K1/K2-capsular serotype locus KL113-like, carried a KpVP-1-like virulence plasmid, and belonged to the emerging sublineage SL660 (comprising the sequence type ST660).
我们报告了一例发生在法国的 80 岁老年男性的肺炎克雷伯菌菌血症病例,该患者无亚洲旅行史,并发内源性眼内炎、多发脑微出血和肝微脓肿,合并本-戈尔登心脏病。基于临床表现、细菌分离株基因组序列和高黏液性,提示该菌为高毒力型。有趣的是,该分离株具有非 K1/K2 荚膜血清型 KL113 样结构,携带 KpVP-1 样毒力质粒,属于新兴亚谱系 SL660(包括序列类型 ST660)。
