Association between Timing of Colonization and Risk of Developing Klebsiella pneumoniae Carbapenemase-Producing K. pneumoniae Infection in Hospitalized Patients

Cano, Ángela Gutiérrez Gutiérrez, Belén Machuca, Isabel

Colonization by KPC-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (KPC-Kp) is associ ated with the risk of developing KPC-Kp infection. The impact of the time elapsed since a patient becomes colonized on this risk is not well known. An observational, prospec tive, longitudinal cohort study of colonized patients undergoing active rectal culture screening to...

Proof‑of‑concept study to quantify changes in intestinal loads of KPC-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae in colonised patients following selective digestive decontamination with oral gentamicin

Pérez Nadales, Elena Natera, Alejandra M. Recio Rufián, Manuel

Objectives To monitor quantitatively the extent of intestinal colonisation by KPC-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (KPC-Kp) in colonised patients who receive selective digestive decontamination (SDD) with oral gentamicin. Methods We developed a real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) method for determination of the relative load of blaKPC (RLKPC)...
