Liver abscess caused by magA+ Klebsiella pneumoniae in North America.

Journal of clinical microbiology - 1 Feb 2005

Fang Ferric C, Sandler Netanya, Libby Stephen J

Abstract excerpt

Taiwan has witnessed an emerging syndrome of liver abscess caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae carrying the magA gene required for exopolysaccharide web biosynthesis. We report a patient transferred from Alaska to Washington State with a magA(+) K. pneumoniae liver abscess and describe a simple approach for recognition of these hypervirulent strains.
