pneumoniae causing urinary tract infections in Croatia. The aim of the study was to characterize, antimicrobial susceptibility, carbapenem resistance, virulence traits and plasmid types of the urinary KPC positive isolates of K. pneumoniae. The antimicrobial susceptibility to a wide range of antibiotics ...
Klebsiella pneumoniaein urine IfKlebsiella pneumoniaebacteria get into your urinary tract, they can cause an infection. This is more likely if you’ve had a catheter put in during a hospital stay. UTIs caused byKlebsiella pneumoniacan be life-threatening, especially in people who have serious illn...
pneumoniae colonizes the gastrointestinal tract and less frequently the nasopharynx, whence it gains entry to the cir- culation and other tissues causing infection. In the pre-antibiotic era, K. pneumoniae was an important cause of community-acquired pneumonia, especially in alcoholics and dia- bet...
Background: Klebsiella pneumoniae ( K. pneumoniae ) urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common in the community and in hospital. The aims of this study were to evaluate antibiotic resistance and to describe the factors associated with urinary tract infections caused by K. pneumoniae . Methods: Th...
Klebsiella pneumoniae, a member of the autochthonous human gut microbiota, utilizes a variety of virulence factors for survival and pathogenesis. Consequently, it is responsible for several human infections, including urinary tract infections, respiratory tract infections, liver abscess, meningitis, bloodstre...

Klebsiella pneumoniaeis a common enterobacterium that causes a disease spectrum that includes severe pneumonia (lobular or lobar), enteritis, urinary tract infection, and miscellaneous septic lesions, including sinusitis, meningitis, and otitis. In humans it is an unusual part of pharyngeal and oral ...
pneumoniae resulted in the complete resolution of the infection [21]. Similarly, Nir-Paz et al. (2019) reported a cure in a case with poly-microbial bone infection in which combination therapy of phage ΦKpKT21phi1 and ΦAbKT21phi3 with meropenem and colistin in caused by MDR K. ...
