Travel Med. Podschun, R. But like klebsiella, when it gets into the respiratory tract, bloodstream, or urinary tract, it can cause dangerous and even deadly infections. The CDC provides all the information you need about what causes klebsiella infections, how it is spread, treatment, and what you can do to prevent infection. GARD is another great resource to learn all the facts about Klebsiella pneumoniae infections.
You can also access a database of clinical trials that are related to klebsiella and read the descriptions of each study. Make sure to talk to your healthcare provider before choosing to participate in a clinical study.

Most cases of K. The symptoms of a K. Bloodstream infections bacteremia and sepsis from klebsiella can cause fever, chills, fatigue, light-headedness, and altered mental states. People who have weakened immune systems, or sick or injured people who are undergoing procedures for various health issues, are more likely to get a K.
Infections can also occur through the use of contaminated medical equipment. For example, people on ventilators can contract Klebsiella pneumonia if breathing tubes are contaminated with the bacteria. Similarly, the use of contaminated intravenous catheters can lead to bloodstream infections. Imaging tests, such as ultrasounds, X-rays, and CT scans , may also help your doctor with the diagnosis.
For example, pneumonia caused by klebsiella typically leads to certain changes in the lungs visible on a chest X-ray , like haziness or nodules that might involve an entire lobe of a lung or lining of the lung.
Along with the blood tests most commonly used to identify the klebsiella infection, your doctor will also order susceptibility tests, or sensitivity analyses, to determine which antibiotics are likely to be effective at treating the infection. Patients in healthcare settings also may be exposed to Klebsiella when they are on ventilators breathing machines , or have intravenous vein catheters or wounds caused by injury or surgery.
Unfortunately, these medical tools and conditions may allow Klebsiella to enter the body and cause infection. To prevent spreading Klebsiella infections between patients, healthcare personnel must follow specific infection control precautions see: Guideline for Isolation Precautions: Preventing Transmission of Infectious Agents in Healthcare Settings These precautions may include strict adherence to hand hygiene and wearing gowns and gloves when they enter rooms where patients with Klebsiella —related illnesses are housed.
Healthcare facilities also must follow strict cleaning procedures to prevent the spread of Klebsiella. To prevent the spread of infections, patients also should clean their hands very often, including:. Some Klebsiella bacteria have become highly resistant to antibiotics.
When bacteria such as Klebsiella pneumoniae produce an enzyme known as a carbapenemase referred to as KPC-producing organisms , then the class of antibiotics called carbapenems will not work to kill the bacteria and treat the infection.
Klebsiella species are examples of Enterobacterales, a normal part of the human gut bacteria, that can become carbapenem-resistant. CRE, which stands for carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales, are an order of germs that are difficult to treat because they have high levels of resistance to antibiotics.
Unfortunately, carbapenem antibiotics often are the last line of defense against Gram-negative infections that are resistant to other antibiotics. Klebsiella infections that are not drug-resistant can be treated with antibiotics. Klebsiella pneumoniae is mainly transmitted through direct or indirect contact with contaminated persons or objects. The bacterium is one of the most common pathogens for bacterial sepsis , but pneumonia and infections of the urinary tract or soft tissues are also possible.
Klebsiella pneumoniae cause about 5 percent of nosocomial infections in Europe. The bacteria are the cause of postoperative wound and blood flow infections in patients in hospitals. Their comparatively high resistance to antibiotics and high reproduction rate make Klebsiella pneumoniae a problematic pathogen.
