    Author: Ng D, Frazee B.
    Journal: West J Emerg Med; 2015 Jan; 16(1):165-8. PubMed ID: 25671032.
    Abstract:
    Necrotizing fasciitis caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae has been described in Southeast Asia, but has only recently begun to emerge in North America. The hypermucoviscous strain of K. pneumoniae is a particularly virulent strain known to cause devastatingly invasive infections, including necrotizing fasciitis. Here we present the first known case of necrotizing fasciitis caused by hypermucoviscous K. pneumoniae in North America.
