No Carbapenem Resistance in Pneumonia Caused by Klebsiella Species

Medicine, 2015
Klebsiella species are a common cause of community- and nosocomial-acquired pneumonia. Antibiotic resistance to the class of carbapenem in patients with pneumonia caused by Klebsiella species is unusual. New studies report carbapenem resistance in patients with pneumonia caused by Klebsiella species.This article examines, retrospectively, antibiotic ...

The Metabolome of Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae Infection in Plasma

Disease Markers, 2021
Aim. Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae- (CR-Kp-) mediated infections represent a challenge for clinical practitioners due to their expanding prevalence in hospital environments and antibiotic resistance. However, few studies have shown metabolic changes of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae and CR-Kp-negative patients, and relevant ...
