Risk Factors for Subsequential Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae Clinical Infection Among Rectal Carriers with Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae

摘要

Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) infection has become a critical clinical concern for its high mortality. Rectal carriage of CRKP has been reported playing an important role in CRKP infection; however, the extent to which carrier develops clinical CRKP infection is unclear. This study aimed to identify risk factors for developing subsequential CRKP clinical infection in rectal carriers with CRKP.
