pneumoniae. The organism generates ammonia from urea, elevates the pH of urine, and forms crystals of calcium and magnesium phosphates in the urine and the biofilm that develops on the catheter. However, K. pneumoniae causes a moderate pH increase compared to other urine bacteria (i.e. ...
urine and secretion.The detection rate of ESBLs-producing KPN was 36.0%.The drug-resistance rate to common antibiotics in ESBLs producers was generally higher than that in ESBLs nonproducers.No KPN was resistant to imipenem and meropenem.CONCLUSIONS Drug-resistance status of K.pneumoniae in ...

Retrospective cohort study. To determine the prevalence of brain and spinal cord injury (BSCI) patients among all patients with Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase-producing K. pneumoniae (KPC-KP) and to evaluate clinical characteristics and duration of
Abdominal surgery carries significant morbidity and mortality, which is in turn associated with an enormous use of healthcare resources. Sepsis is a serious complication and may be diagnosed during pre-, intra-, or postoperative periods [1, 2]. Klebsiella pneumoniae (Kp) is an emerging major pat...
Patient was admitted in strict barrier precautions for MRSA . Intestinal carriage of MDR Enterobacteriaceae was screened at admission and a carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae strain was isolated from a throat swab. A confirmational PCR was positive for bla KPC. On October 14th a routine urine ...
Carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) presents a significant challenge to antimicrobial therapy, especially when compounded by resistance to colistin. The objective of this study was to explore molecular epidemiological insights into strai

Carbapenem resistance among bacteria, especially Klebsiella pneumoniae and Acinetobacter baumannii, constitutes a dreadful threat to public health all over the world that requires developing new medications urgently. Carbapenem resistance emerges as a se
Klebsiella is a genus of Enterobacteriaceae that has emerged as a significant nosocomial pathogen in neonates [116,117]. The four recognized species include Klebsiella pneumoniae, Klebsiella oxytoca, Klebsiella terrigena, and Klebsiella planticola. K. pneumoniae, the most common human pathogen, and K...
