The Function ofwzy_K1 (magA), the Serotype K1 Polymerase Gene inKlebsiella pneumoniae cpsGene Cluster

12 Mar 2010

Abstract excerpt

In this issue of the Journal, Yeh et al [1] revisit the importance of magA in Klebsiella pneumoniae causing pyogenic liver abscess, as well as its exact role in serotype K1 capsule formation. Themucoviscosityassociated gene A (magA) of K. pneumoniae was originally discovered in 2002 by me and my colleagues [2, 3] in tissueinvasive K. pneumoniae strains causing primary liver abscess complicated bymetastatic...
