Capsular Polysaccharide Synthesis Regions in <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> Serotype K57 and a New Capsular Serotype
29 May 2008
Abstract excerpt
Community-acquired pyogenic liver abscess caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae is an emerging infectious disease. We explored the capsular polysaccharide synthesis (cps) regions of three non-K1, non-K2 K. pneumoniae strains, A1142, A7754, and A1517, from Taiwanese patients experiencing pyogenic liver abscess. Two of the strains, A1142 and A7754, belonged to capsular serotype K57, while the third belonged to a new...
