Gastrointestinal carriage is a major reservoir of <i>K. pneumoniae</i> infection in intensive care patients

2016-12-23

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Klebsiella pneumoniae is an opportunistic pathogen and a leading cause of hospital-associated (HA) infections. Patients in intensive care units (ICUs) are particularly at risk, and outbreaks are frequently reported in ICUs. K. pneumoniae is also part of the healthy human microbiome, providing a potential reservoir for HA infection. However, the frequency of K. pneumoniae gut colonization and...
