Abstract:
Klebsiella pneumoniae is one of the most important gram-negative bacteria clinically. Klebsiella infections are seen mostly in people with a weakened immune system.Klebsiella can cause infec-tions in the respiratory tract,urinary tract,lower biliary tract,and surgical wound sites.The range of clinical diseases includes pneumonia,thrombophlebitis,urinary tract infection,pyogenic liver abscess,cholecystitis,di-arrhea,upper respiratory tract infection,wound infection,osteomyelitis,meningitis,and bacteremia and septi-cemia.The most common condition caused by Klebsiella bacteria is pneumonia,and the worst condition is septic shock.Klebsiella organisms are often resistant to multiple antibiotics.Klebsiella with the ability to pro-duce extended-spectrum beta-lactamases is resistant to many classes of antibiotics.Therefore,prevent sprea-ding Klebsiella infections and give effective treatment to patients are most important task for us.
