Klebsiella pneumoniae; multidrug resistance; transmission; Sudan1. Introduction Klebsiella pneumoniae is an important global pathogen causing a variety of infections in community and healthcare-associated infections, such as pneumonia, urinary tract infections (UTI), and bloodstream infections. It poses a ...
Your doctor may also use some kind of imaging, such as a chestX-rayto help diagnoseKlebsiella pneumoniaeinfection. Klebsiella Pneumoniae Treatment Antibiotics are the main treatment forKlebsiella pneumoniaeinfections. Your doctor will send your blood, urine, sputum, or other body fluid to a lab to...
The dubious clinical efficacy of penicillin-inhibitor combinations and the fact that a meaningful proportion of such isolates have developed resistance to fluori- nated quinolones and other antibiotics ren- dered carbapenems the first-line treatment against ESBL-K. pneumoniae infections. The extensive ...
Duration of treatment is usually 14-21 days. Intravenous agents are used until the fever resolves. Other measures may include correction of an anatomical abnormality or removal of a urinary catheter. Other K pneumoniae infections Combination therapy with a beta-lactam antibiotic and an aminoglycoside ...
pneumoniae with this MDR pattern in such a short period should serve as a warning. Strongly coordinated approaches for prevention and treatment should be in place to handle such potential outbreaks. Infection control measures include undertaking contact precautions, segregating infected/colonized patients,...
OBJECTIVE To investigate the antimicrobial resistance and genotyping of aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes (AMEs) and β-lactamases (BLs) in Klebsiella pneumoniae (KPN) isolated from hospital-acquired infection in Guangzhou. METHODS The sensibility of KPN was identified to 20 antibiotics, and the minimum ...
pneumoniae was observed at the effective achievable concentration. The results of this study also suggest that early initiation of treatment with antibiotics of the bacteria in biofilm mode is essential as the biofilm grows older; there is increased production of extracellular polysaccharide making the ...
pneumoniae producing extended-spectrum -lactamases (ESBL) has risen dramatically in recent decades [11]. ESBLs hydrolyze the beta lactam ring thereby inactivating the antimicrobial compounds such as penicillin and cephalosporin. The third generation of cephalosporins can hinder the treatment because ESBLs...
We aimed to treat a man with multifocal urinary tract infections of MDR Klebsiella pneumoniae by phage therapy. However, the presence of polyclonal co-infectious cells in his renal pelvis and bladder led to the failure of three consecutive phage therapies. After analysis, the patient was performed...
The emergence of Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemases (KPCs) producing bacteria has become a significant global public health challenge while the optimal treatment remains undefined. We performed a systematic review of published studies and reports of tr
