摘要

Background. Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) has become a major problem among nosocomial infections, and it is a serious threat to patients. The clinical characteristics and outcome of CRKP bloodstream infection (BSI) in nontransplant patients remains unelucidated. The aim of this study was as follows: identify the risk factors of CRKP infection; generate new ideas for prevention; and generate new ideas for the most effective therapeutic management in nontransplant patients.
