Objective  To investigate the iron regulated locus in Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates from blood culture of liver abscess patients in Sichuan Provincial People’s Hospital. Methods  From January to December of 2015, a total of 10 isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae were collected from blood culture of liver abscess patients from Sichuan Provincial People’s Hospital. The genomic DNA was extracted to identify the genes of iroB, iroC, and iroD by PCR, and data was further analyzed by Graphpad Prism 5 software. Results  Among the 10 Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical strains, 9 strains were iroB positive strains, 9 strains were iroC positive strains, and 10 strains were iroD positive strains, 9 strains were iroB/C/D triple positive. Conclusion  The current study suggests that the frequency of triple positive of iroB/C/D in Klebsiella pneumoniae is high in isolates from liver abscess patients, the triple positive of iroB/C/D may contribute to liver abscess.
