Bacteremic community-acquired pneumonia due to Klebsiella pneumoniae: Clinical and microbiological characteristics in Taiwan, 2001-2008
BACKGROUND Klebsiella pneumoniae is the major cause of community-acquired pyogenic infections in Taiwan. This retrospective study evaluated the clinical and microbiological characteristics of bacteremic community-acquired pneumonia due to K. pneumoniae in Taiwanese adults. METHODS The clinical characteristics of bacteremic community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in adults due to K. pneumoniae were...
متن کاملAssociation between rmpA and magA genes and clinical syndromes caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae in Taiwan.
BACKGROUND The association of the magA gene with the hypermucoviscosity phenotype relevant to the pathogenesis of Klebsiella pneumoniae liver abscess has been reported in Taiwan. Similarly, the rmpA gene, known as a positive regulator of extracapsular polysaccharide synthesis that confers a mucoid phenotype, may be another candidate gene causing hypermucoviscosity. However, the association of r...
متن کاملDetection and Analysis of Klebsiella pneumoniae causing Liver Abscess
In recent years, Klebsiella pneumoniae strains have become the second largest bacteria after the E. coli in China causing community-acquired infections and nosocomial infection [1]. The K. pneumoniae strains commonly recognized by clinicians and microbiologists are termed classic K. pneumoniae (cKP).

Klebsiella pneumoniae liver abscess is no longer fatal but causes catastrophic disabilities. To prevent severe complications, early diagnosis is essential. Gram stain and string test are important for early diagnosis.
متن کاملClinical spectrum and molecular characteristics of Klebsiella pneumoniae causing community-acquired extrahepatic abscess.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Klebsiella pneumoniae causes a wide spectrum of infections, including abscess and non-abscess formation. This study investigated the clinical spectrum and molecular characteristics of community-acquired Klebsiella infection with primary extrahepatic abscess. METHODS From April 2004 through March 2007, a total of 18 strains of K. pneumoniae, 11 from blood and 7 from foca...
