Division of Infectious Diseases and Tropical Medicine, TSGH

Division of Infectious Diseases and Tropical Medicine of Tri-Service General Hospital was created in 1967 and take the service of Infectious diseases treatment and control. Our team had been focused the clinical study of Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii and other clinical researchers.

The severe infectious diseases were commonly caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae. The pyogenic liver abscess, urinary tract infection, pneumonia and septicemia could be caused by K. pneumoniae which was the 2^nd most common in gram-negative bacilli infection and with higher mortality rate. The capsular serotypes had been clarified important virulent factors in pathogenesis with K. pneumoniae infection. We had studied and analyzed the relationship among capsular serotypes in community, and healthy-care associated K. pneumoniae different kinds of infection. The serotype K1 and K2 were the most common serotypes and caused the most severity in clinics. So the rapid identification of serotype K1 and K2 was the key method to provide decision of treatment for K. pneumoniae infection. The comparison among traditional capsular swelling test, molecular method and defined the Rapid test kits for identification of capsular serotypes of K. pneumoniae had been designed. Traditional capsular swelling test cost higher with much time and lower sensitivity. Molecular method cost higher with much time and higher sensitivity. Rapid test kits for identification of capsular serotypes of K. pneumoniae cost cheaper with a little time and higher sensitivity. Among Rapid test kits for identification of capsular serotypes of K. pneumoniae, traditional capsular swelling test, and molecular method had been tested with head to head at the same time. There was no found about cross reaction among different capsular serotypes of K. pneumoniae strains and revealed the higher specificity with Rapid test kits for identification of capsular serotypes of K. pneumoniae. This innovation for rapid serotypes identification will be provided the prospective treatment change for K. pneumoniae infection. We had studied and tested the Rapid test kits among Hong-Kong, Singapore, United States and Canada for about 3,000 tests. The created value of global markets including Taiwan will be achieved billions dollars of USD in the K. pneumoniae infection.
