801Molecular Epidemiological Characteristics of Klebsiella pneumoniae Associated with Bacteremia among Patients with Pneumonia
Some important virulence factors have been elucidated in Klebsiella pneumoniae infections. We investigated the relationship between virulence factors and multilocus sequence types (STs) and assessed the risk factors for bacteremia in patients with pneumonia due to K. pneumoniae. From April 2004 through April 2012, a total of 120 K. pneumoniae isolates from patients with pneumonia (23 with bacte...
متن کاملKlebsiella pneumoniae bacteremia associated with a Tesio hemodialysis catheter.
Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteremia associated with a Tesio hemodialysis catheter To the Editor: Catheter-associated bacteremia is a serious complication of temporary hemodialysis vascular access. Bacteremia is the second leading cause of death in hemodialysis patients. Infectious episodes are also the leading cause for untimely catheter removal and for morbidity in dialysis patients. In a study o...
متن کاملKlebsiella pneumoniae Bacteremia and Capsular Serotypes, Taiwan
Capsular serotypes of 225 Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates in Taiwan were identified by using PCR. Patients infected with K1 serotypes (41 isolates) had increased community-onset bacteremia, more nonfatal diseases and liver abscesses, lower Pittsburgh bacteremia scores and mortality rates, and fewer urinary tract infections than patients infected with non-K1/K2 serotypes (147 isolates).
متن کاملH1N1-Associated Encephalitis in a Child with Acute Myeloblastic Leukemia and Bacteremia due to Klebsiella Pneumoniae
Herein we present a neutropenic 16-year-old female with acute myeloblastic leukemia that developed recurrentgeneralized seizures while receiving antimicrobial therapy (including oseltamivir) due to pneumonia, bacteremiaof Klebsiella pneumoniae, and H1N1 infection. The patient's seizures were controlled using assisted ventilation.Electroencephalography showed that the patient had encephalopathy....
متن کاملThe Klebsiella pneumoniae O antigen contributes to bacteremia and lethality during murine pneumonia.
Bacterial surface carbohydrates are important pathogenic factors in gram-negative pneumonia infections. Among these factors, O antigen has been reported to protect pathogens against complement-mediated killing. To examine further the role of O antigen, we insertionally inactivated the gene encoding a galactosyltransferase necessary for serotype O1 O-antigen synthesis (wbbO) from Klebsiella pneu...
