introduction klebsiella pneumoniae is one of the most important gram-negative bacteria causing hospital-acquired infections. case presentation in this report is presented a patient with an abdominal infection caused by carbapenemase producing-klebsiella pneumonia (k. pneumonia). in spite of administrating the combination therapy, successive resistance to last-resort antimicrobial agents (colist...

conclusions our results indicated that an enormous proportion of k. pneumoniae isolated from sputum and surgical-wound swabs produced fully established biofilms. it is reasonable to assume the existence of a relationship between the site of infection and the formation of biofilm. a high level of genetic diversity among the k. pneumoniae strains was observed. results the distributions of the cli...

background & objectives:extended-spectrum-b-lactamase (esbl)-producing strains of klebsiella pneumoniaare an important cause of many serious infections in hospitalized and nonhospitalized patients and delayed treatment of these infections in crease chance of death in patients. this study was performed to determine the prevalence of esbl-producing k. pneumonia and to evaluate the frequency o...

Klebsiella species are a common cause of community- and nosocomial-acquired pneumonia. Antibiotic resistance to the class of carbapenem in patients with pneumonia caused by Klebsiella species is unusual. New studies report carbapenem resistance in patients with pneumonia caused by Klebsiella species.This article examines, retrospectively, antibiotic resistance in patients with community- and no...

conclusions the results indicate that the rates of esbls are high in urine e. coli and k. pneumoniae isolates from tehran hospitals. also this study indicates that the urine isolates from male patients are significantly more resistant than the female isolates. materials and methods a total of 190 e. coli and k. pneumoniae isolates were collected from patients’ urine samples in hospitals from te...

Klebsiella species is the second most commonly isolated gram-negative organism in sepsis and a frequent causative pathogen in pneumonia. The receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) is expressed on different cell types and plays a key role in diverse inflammatory responses. We here aimed to investigate the role of RAGE in the host response to Klebsiella (K.) pneumoniae pneumonia and ...

purpose: to report a case of endogenous klebsiella endophthalmitis associated with liver abscess in iran. case report: a 79 year old man was referred with chief complaint of left eye pain and visual loss. the patient had conjunctival hyperemia, corneal edema, hypopyon and severe vitreous cellular reaction in the left eye and yellowish conjunctival discoloration which was apparent in the right e...

background extended-spectrum β-lactamase (esbl)-producing klebsiella pneumonia has become widespread in hospitals and is increasing in community settings. most of k. pneumonia that harbor these enzymes, display resistance to other unrelated antimicrobial agents and thus, often pose a therapeutic dilemma. objectives this study was conducted to determine the prevalence of esbl-producing k. pneumo...
