Risk Factors for Klebsiella Infections among Hospitalized Patients with Preexisting Colonization. [PDF]

mSphere, 2021
Klebsiella is a leading cause of health care-associated infections. Patients who are intestinally colonized with Klebsiella are at a significantly increased risk of subsequent infection, but only a subset of colonized patients progress to disease ...

High polyketide synthase gene expression boosts pathogenicity of Klebsiella pneumoniae in the digestive infection [PDF]

Scientific Reports
The pathogenicity of Klebsiella pneumoniae is continuously on the rise owing to variations in virulence. The polyketide synthase (pks) gene plays a crucial role in the expression of microbial virulence genes.

Genomic dissection of Klebsiella pneumoniae infections in hospital patients reveals insights into an opportunistic pathogen

Nature Communications, 2022
Klebsiella pneumoniae is a major cause of opportunistic healthcare-associated infections, which are increasingly complicated by the presence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) and carbapenem resistance.

Modelling the Gastrointestinal Carriage of Klebsiella pneumoniae Infections

bioRxiv, 2022
Klebsiella pneumoniae is one of the pathogens that is sweeping the world in the antibiotic resistance pandemic. Klebsiella colonizes the nasopharynx and the gut of healthy subjects in an asymptomatic manner, making gut colonization a requisite for ...

Rapid identification of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Serratia marcescens by surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy [PDF]

BIO Web of Conferences, 2023
Two types of pathogenic bacteria, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Serratia marcescens, had been reported as important causes of hospital-acquired infection. Rapid and accurate identification of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Serratia marcescens is vitally important

Clinical Epidemiology, Risk Factors, and Control Strategies of Klebsiella pneumoniae Infection

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Klebsiella species cause infections at multiple sites, including lung, urinary tract, bloodstream, wound or surgical site, and brain. These infections are more likely to occur in people with preexisting health conditions.

Characteristics of Klebsiella bloodstream infections and risk factors for carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella infections in children

Trends in Pediatrics, 2023
Objective: Klebsiella spp. is a common and severe pathogen of bloodstream infections (BSI) due to gram-negative bacilli. Carbapenems are commonly used agents for the treatment of serious infections.

Ten-year longitudinal molecular epidemiology study of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella species bloodstream infections in Oxfordshire, UK

Genome Medicine, 2021
Background The incidence of Gram-negative bloodstream infections (BSIs), predominantly caused by Escherichia coli and Klebsiella species, continues to increase; however, the causes of this are unclear and effective interventions are therefore hard to ...

Resistance patterns and clinical outcomes of Klebsiella pneumoniae and invasive Klebsiella variicola in trauma patients

PLoS ONE, 2021
Recent reclassification of the Klebsiella genus to include Klebsiella variicola, and its association with bacteremia and mortality, has raised concerns. We examined Klebsiella spp.
