Multidrug-resistant klebsiella pneumoniae-induced sepsis with multiple abscesses: A case report

Klebsiella pneumoniae, a Gram-negative bacillus which exists widely in nature, is generally colonized in the human intestine and oral cavity and does not cause disease [1]. However, the emergence and global expansion of hypervirulent and multidrug-resistant clones of K. pneumoniae have been increasingly reported in community-acquired and nosocomial infections. Management of antimicrobial resistance in multi-drug-resistant-K. pneumoniae (MDR-KP) is a major challenge for clinicians [2]. The optimal treatment option for MDR-KP infections is still not well established, which brings huge challenges to clinical treatment [2]. Here, we report a case of septicemia caused by MDR-KP with hibateral perirenal abscesses, hibateral psoas abscesses and right posterior abdominal wall abscess in a 70-year-old man who are treated for a long time.
