The presence of magA in K. pneumoniae has been implicated in hypermucoviscosity and virulence of liver abscess isolates. The K2 serotype has also been strongly associated with hypervirulence. We report the isolation of non-magA K2 K. pneumoniae strain from a liver abscess of a Saint Kitt s man who survived the invasive syndrome. Key words Klebsiella pneumoniae magA 16S rRNA k2A dengue fever Klebsiella pneumoniae is often isolated in hospital-acquired urinary tract infections septicemias pneumonia and intra-abdominal infections 1 . Although bacterial liver abscesses are rare K. pneumoniae is one of the leading etiologic agents 2 . Since 1981 a distinct clinical syndrome
