Evaluation of antibiotic resistance associated with ophthalmic oqxAB pumps in Klebsiella pneumoniae causing urinary tract infection
Background: The urinary tract infection is the secondary most common human infection. Colon bacteria, including Klebsiella pneumonia, are the main cause of urinary tract infections. The occurrence of the antibiotic resistance is a major problem in the treatment of infections. Beta- lactamases and efflux pumps constitute the major defense mechanisms of antibiotic resistance of Klebsiella pneumon...
متن کاملYersiniabactin is a virulence factor for Klebsiella pneumoniae during pulmonary infection.
Iron acquisition systems are essential for the in vivo growth of bacterial pathogens. Despite the epidemiological importance of Klebsiella pneumoniae, few experiments have examined the importance of siderophores in the pathogenesis of this species. A previously reported signature-tagged mutagenesis screen identified an attenuated strain that featured an insertional disruption in ybtQ, which enc...
متن کاملCombination Therapy for Multidrug-Resistant Klebsiella Pneumoniae Urinary Tract Infection
Hospital-acquired multidrug-resistant (MDR) Klebsiella infection is posing a significant challenge to physicians all around the world. The spread of multiple antibiotic resistance among various members of bacteria continues to be a significant clinical threat. Antibiotic susceptibility testing is the initial step in optimizing the appropriate antibiotic therapy for infections with MDR Klebsiell...
متن کاملKlebsiella pneumoniae Bloodstream Infection
Multidrug resistance associated with extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) and Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC) among K. pneumoniae is endemic in southern Europe. We retrospectively analyzed the impact of resistance on the appropriateness of empirical therapy and treatment outcomes of K. pneumoniae bloodstream infections (BSIs) during a 2-year period at a 1420-bed tertiary-care teach...
متن کاملPathogenic significance of Klebsiella oxytoca in acute respiratory tract infection.
A retrospective study of all Klebsiella isolations from patients admitted to hospital with acute respiratory tract infections over a 27-month period was carried out. Ten of the Klebsiella isolations from sputum and one from a blood culture were identified as Klebsiella oxytoca. The clinical and radiological features of six patients are described. Four of these patients had lobar pneumonia, one ...
