The case involves a diabetic patient with endogenous endophthalmitis caused by sequence type 66-K2 hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae. Genomic analysis revealed the pathogen has remained highly conserved, with >98% genetic similarity to the original strain described in Indonesia in 1935.
We describe a case of endogenous endophthalmitis caused by sequence type 66-K2 hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae in a diabetic patient with no travel history outside the United States. Genomic analysis showed the pathogen has remained highly conserved, retaining >98% genetic similarity to the original strain described in Indonesia in 1935.
