Klebsiella infection

A Klebsiella infection is an infectious disease caused by Gram-negative, encapsulated bacilli of the genus *Klebsiella*, most commonly *Klebsiella pneumoniae* Pathophysiologically, the bacteria utilize prominent polysaccharide capsules, lipopolysaccharides, and siderophores to evade host immune defenses, colonizing mucosal surfaces and disseminating to cause pneumonia, urinary tract infections, intra-abdominal abscesses, wound infections, and bloodstream infections

A Klebsiella infection is an infectious disease caused by Gram-negative, encapsulated bacilli of the genus *Klebsiella*, most commonly *Klebsiella pneumoniae* It frequently manifests as a healthcare-associated infection in hospitalized, debilitated, or immunocompromised patients, though hypervirulent strains can cause invasive disease in healthy individuals Clinical presentations vary by anatomical site and often involve acute inflammation, tissue necrosis, and significant risks associated with ...
