Klebsiella pneumoniae is an opportunistic pathogen mostly found in health care-associated infections but can also be associated with community-acquired infections and is in critical need of new antimicrobial agents for strains resistant to carbapenems. The prevalence of carbapenemase-encoding genes varies ...
pneumoniae isolates from bloodstream infection. A A maximum likelihood phylogeny showing the year of isolation and the most frequent sequence types (ST), clonal groups (CG; represented by three or more genomes), and sublineages (SL; represented by four or more genomes). The midpoint-rooted ...
Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp) has emerged as a pathogen of global concern. In this study, both phenotypic and genotypic tests were used to detect hvKp. Antimicrobial resistance profiles and clonal relatedness of clinical isolates were also determined. We found that 34.2% (163/477) of...
are often found in sewage from the sewage treatment plants and marine environment. In this study, CIP and LEV biodegrading bacterial consortia were obtained from industrial wastewater. Microorganisms in these consortia were identified asAcinetobacter baumannii(A. baumannii),Klebsiella pneumoniae(K. pneumon...
In general, initial therapy of patients with possible bacteremia is empirical. The choice of a specific antimicrobial agent depends on local susceptibility patterns. Once bacteremia is confirmed, treatment may be modified. Agents with high intrinsic activity against K pneumoniae should be selected for...
Klebsiella pneumoniae has emerged as a significant pathogen that causes community and hospital infections due to its high resistance rate and transmissibility. Klebsiella pneumoniae complex is classified into three phylogroups: Klebsiella pneumoniae (KpI
The purpose of the study was to determine the influence of human urine on the antibiotic susceptibilities of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli strains producing different types of extended-spectrum 尾-lactamases (ESBL). The study was performed on 26 ESBL negative strains of K. pneumoniae, ...
the prevalence of ESBL-producers was 7.2% amongK. pneumoniaeurine isolates causing community-acquired urinary tract infection in the United States23, 3.3% for community-onsetK. pneumoniaebacteremia in Korea26, and only 3.6% in Canada even when both community-acquired and hospital-acquired infection...
pneumoniae must be suspected when this typical strain is not isolated. This rare case report highlights and supports the literature (Table 3) in isolation of Klebsiella pneumoniae as the rare and emerging causative species of Lemierre’s syndrome, its prompt diagnosis with inter-disciplinary team ...
1. The global public health need for a vaccine Globally in 2019, Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) was ranked as the fourth highest cause of infection related deaths across all-age-groups, with an estimated 790,000 (95 % Uncertainty Interval [UI]: 682,000–1,010,000) deaths [1]. ...
