Genetically similar isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae serotype K1 causing liver abscesses in three continents.

Journal of medical microbiology - 1 May 2007

Abstract excerpt

The magA gene was sought in hypermucoviscous isolates of Klebsiella spp., the Klebsiella K serotype reference strains and in isolates of the K1 serotype of Klebsiella pneumoniae from the UK, Hong Kong, Israel, Taiwan and Australia. Only K1 isolates were PCR positive for magA; this gene was found in all such isolates tested. Hypermucoviscosity was not confined to magA positive isolates, nor was it found in all...
