Abstract

The characteristics of hypermucoviscosity isolates amongKlebsiella pneumoniaecausing community-acquired bacteremia were investigated. The hypermucoviscous phenotype was present in 8.2% ofK pneumoniaeisolates, and was associated with rmpA and the K2 serotype; liver abscesses were the most common clinical presentation. The present analysis represents the first population-based surveillance study of hypermucoviscosity amongK pneumoniaecausing bacteremia.
