Dynamic Colonization of Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolates in Gastrointestinal Tract of Intensive Care Patients

Dynamic Colonization of Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolates in Gastrointestinal Tract of Intensive Care Patients

Gastrointestinal carriage is regarded as a major reservoir of K. pneumoniae infections, especially in intensive care patients. A total of 101 (95.3%) KPC-producing carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae (CRKP) isolates were identified among 106 CRKP isolates collected from stool samples of inpatients pe...
