Hypermucoviscosity: An Extremely Sticky Phenotype of Klebsiella pneumoniae Associated with Emerging Destructive Tissue Abscess Syndrome

18 Apr 2006

Abstract excerpt

Klebsiella pneumoniae is an opportunistic pathogen found in the environment and on mammalian mucosal surfaces. K. pneumoniae has been characterized as a community-acquired pulmonary pathogen since it was discovered >100 years ago. The classic clinical symptoms are represented by rapid onset, high fever, and hemoptysis (currant jelly—like sputum), in conjunction with the radiographic findings of bulging interlobar...
