We show that any Cuntz-Krieger algebra A over an infinite 0–1 matrix A may be realised as a Cuntz-Pimsner algebra X for a Hilbert bimodule X over a suitable Abelian C*-algebra with totally disconnected spectrum. Using Pimsner's six-term exact sequence for the KK-groups we calculate the K-groups of A. We also give a description of the corresponding Toeplitz algebra X in terms of generators and relations.
