Contribution of mucoviscosity-associated gene A (magA) to virulence in experimental Klebsiella pneumoniae endophthalmitis.

Investigative ophthalmology & visual science - 29 Aug 2011

Hunt Jonathan J, Wang Jin-Town, Callegan Michelle C

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: Endogenous endophthalmitis secondary to Klebsiella pneumoniae liver abscess is a blinding infection that is being reported more frequently in the literature. The K1 capsule and magA contribute to virulence of systemic infection in mice; however, little is known about the role of magA in secondary ocular infections. METHODS: To assess the role of K. pneumoniae capsule in endophthalmitis, the authors...
