Clinical Characteristics, Virulence Profile, and Molecular Epidemiology of Klebsiella pneumoniae Infections in Kidney Transplant Recipients
The resistance rate to carbapenem of KP from KT patients exceeded the regional average with predominant ST typing of ST11. Clinical data were analyzed to derive some high-risk factors for CRKP infection. Therefore, we recommend early prophylactic isolation of transplant patients with high-risk factors for CRKP infection to improve the quality of nosocomial control.
