Prostatic Abscess Caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae: A 6-Year Single-Center Study

, 2022
Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp) is an important strain that can cause multiple organ infections. Although hvKp infection cases are increasing, there is limited information on the prostatic abscesses caused by K. pneumoniae.

Clinical use of tigecycline may contribute to the widespread dissemination of carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae strains

The emergence of carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-hvKP) poses grave threats to human health. These strains increased dramatically in clinical settings in China in the past few years but not in other parts of the world.
