  • Bartholin's abscess caused by hypermucoviscous Klebsiella pneumoniae.

    Pinsky BA, Baron EJ, Janda JM, Banaei N. J Med Microbiol. 2009; 58 (Pt 5): 671-3

    Klebsiella pneumoniae serogroups displaying the hypermucoviscosity phenotype are associated with a distinct clinical syndrome characterized by liver abscesses, bacteraemia and metastatic lesions. We describe here what we believe to be the first reported case of hypermucoviscous K. pneumoniae causing a superficial Bartholin's abscess in the absence of systemic involvement.
