Risk factors, outcomes and genotypes of carbapenem-nonsusceptible Klebsiella pneumoniae bloodstream infection: a three-year retrospective study in a large tertiary hospital in Northern China

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Central venous catheter, mechanical ventilation, high Pitt bacteraemia score, hospitalization prior to culture, and prior antibiotic use (carbapenem, aminoglycoside and tigecycline) were identified as independent risk factors for carbapenem-non-susceptible K. pneumoniae BSI, which was mostly caused by KPC-2 in northern China.
