is a member of the genus Klebsiella Enterobacteriaceae and belongs to the normal flora of human mouth and intestines. Infections, K. pneumonia, usually nosocomial and occur mainly in patients with low resistance. An important exception to these general observations outpatient primary invasive liver abscess syndrome that can occur in patients without major diseases and attract primarily been described in East Asia, including Taiwan [
]. (See below
).
Epidemiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment of infections caused by K. pneumonia will be considered here. Microbiology and pathogenesis of infection of C. pneumonia are discussed separately. (See)
People are the main reservoir for Klebsiella pneumonia, although the organisms can also be found in soil and water. K. pneumonia in water coast may be zoonotic pathogens of marine mammals [
]. Carrier rate of K. pneumonia in humans ranges from 5 to 38 percent in stool samples and from 1 to 6 percent strattera no prescritpion in the nasopharynx, Klebsiella species is rare in the skin [
]. Higher rates of nasopharyngeal carriage occurred in outpatient alcoholism [
]. Carrier rates significantly increased in hospitalized patients who reported rates of 77 percent in the feces, 19 percent in the throat, and 42 percent on hand [
]. Higher rates of colonization primarily associated with the use of antibiotics [
]. This increased prevalence of clinically important, since in one report, Klebsiella nosocomial infection is four times higher chair carriers compared with noncarriers [
]. .
