Abstract
An unusual prevalence of Klebsiella pneumoniae (24%) was observed in 25 adults admitted to the intensive care units of two University Hospitals in the French West Indies, for spontaneous community-acquired bacterial meningitis. All tested isolates had several prominent features of hypervirulent isolates, including rmpa and iuc genes, K1 or K2 capsular serotypes.
