Issue Date: | 2011 | Journal Volume: | 17 | Journal Issue: | 6 | Start page/Pages: | 1113-1115 | Source: | Emerging Infectious Diseases | Abstract: | Capsular serotypes of 225 Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates in Taiwan were identified by using PCR. Patients infected with K1 serotypes (41 isolates) had increased community-onset bacteremia, more nonfatal diseases and liver abscesses, lower Pittsburgh bacteremia scores and mortality rates, and fewer urinary tract infections than patients infected with non-K1/K2 serotypes (147 isolates). |
