Genetic Determinants of Capsular Serotype K1 of<i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i>Causing Primary Pyogenic Liver Abscess

2 Feb 2006

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Primary pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae is an emerging infectious disease. Capsular serotype K1 and the magA gene have been reported to be associated with this disease. METHODS: The prevalence of magA was determined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The sequences of the magA flanking region were completed by inverse PCR and direct sequencing. Serotyping was performed by...
