Research progress of risk factors in bloodstream infection caused by carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella penumoniae / 中华临床感染病杂志

ABSTRACT

Bloodstream infection (BSI) is a systemic infectious disease. The incidence and mortality of BSI caused by carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) remain high, which brought severe challenges into clinical anti-infection treatment and enormous economic burdens for the patients. This article reviews the current research progress on risk factors of BSI caused by CRKP, hoping to provide reference for the early diagnosis and treatment of this disease.
