Congenital pneumonia caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae.
Pneumonia presenting at birth or occurring within first 48 hours of life is most commonly caused by E. coli, Streptococci, Klebsiella aerobacter or Enterococci(1). Congenital pneumonia produces intrauterine death in 16-20% of neonates(l). Early diagnosis and adequate treatment can reduce the mortality to a great extent. We report a case of congenital pneumonia caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae wi...
متن کاملProtection against fatal Klebsiella pneumoniae burn wound sepsis by passive transfer of anticapsular polysaccharide.
Klebsiella pneumoniae KP1-0 capsular polysaccharide (PS) was isolated from culture supernatants by coprecipitation with N-cetyl-N,N,N-trimethylammonium bromide. PS was composed primarily of carbohydrate and contained less than 1% (wt/wt) protein and nucleic acids. The protective capacity of passively transferred anti-PS was evaluated in a murine burn wound sepsis model. Anti-PS antibody was fou...
متن کاملA Fatal Case of Klebsiella pneumoniae Mycotic Aneurysm
Mycotic aneurysm is a serious clinical condition with significant morbidity and mortality. Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella species are the most common causative pathogens. Klebsiella pneumoniae was rarely reported as a possible pathogen causing mycotic aneurysm; therefore, we describe a K. pneumoniae-related fatal bacteremia mycotic aneurysm in a patient in spite of appropriate antimicrobi...
متن کاملProtection with bacteriophage KØ1 against fatal Klebsiella pneumoniae-induced burn wound infection in mice.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Bacteriophages, viruses that cause lysis of bacteria, can serve as an effective tool for the control of infections, especially those caused by multiple drug-resistant organisms. Klebsiella pneumoniae is one of the most predominant pathogens associated with burn wound infections, causing considerable morbidity and mortality. This study investigated the protective effect of...
متن کاملProtective efficacy of Emblica officinalis against Klebsiella pneumoniae induced pneumonia in mice.
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Emblica officinalis (amla), which is a good source of vitamin C, has been shown to be beneficial due to its immune system enhancing property coupled with its tonifying and antiageing effect. The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of E. officinalis feeding on the susceptibility of experimental mice to respiratory tract infection induced by Klebsiella pneum...
