ICD-10 Code for Klebsiella pneumoniae [K. pneumoniae] as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere- B96. 1- Codify by AAPC.
Klebsiella [kleb−see−ell−uh] is a type of Gram-negative bacteria that can cause different types of healthcare-associated infections, including pneumonia, bloodstream infections, wound or surgical site infections, and meningitis.

Klebsiella pneumoniae is second to Escherichia coli the most common gram-negative pathogen associated with a wide spectrum of infections, such as urinary tract infection (UTI), pneumonia, intra-abdominal infection, bloodstream infection (BSI), meningitis and pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) [1–4].
pneumoniae infection by breathing the same air as an infected person. Instead, K. pneumoniae is spread through direct person-to-person contact, such as when someone with contaminated hands touches a wound. Infections can also occur through the use of contaminated medical equipment.
Klebsiella is best treated with third- and fourth-generation cephalosporins, quinolones, or carbapenems.
0 Pneumonia due to Klebsiella pneumoniae.
Pneumonia due to Klebsiella pneumoniae J15. 0 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM J15. 0 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Klebsiella pneumoniae is a rare sepsis-causing bacteria, but it is well known for its severe outcomes with high mortality6,7). Bacteremia caused by K. pneumoniae is seen more, and with a poorer prognosis8), in patients with underlying diseases because of potential deterioration of the immune system6,9,10).
Klebsiella bacteria are mostly spread through person-to-person contact. Less commonly, they are spread by contamination in the environment. As with other healthcare-associated infections, the bacteria can be spread in a health care setting via the contaminated hands of health care workers.
Abstract. Klebsiella pneumoniae is a Gram-negative enterobacterium that has historically been, and currently remains, a significant cause of human disease. It is a frequent cause of urinary tract infections and pneumonia, and subsequent systemic infections can have mortality rates as high as 60%.
Resistance in K. pneumoniae to last resort treatment (carbapenem antibiotics) has spread to all regions of the world. K. pneumoniae is a major cause of hospital-acquired infections such as pneumonia, bloodstream infections, and infections in newborns and intensive-care unit patients.
If you have an antibiotic-resistant infection, your doctor will decide the best way to treat it. They'll probably try a different type of antibiotic or a combination of them. Most people who get a klebsiella infection recover. But some cases can be deadly, especially pneumonia in people who are already very sick.
Healthcare-associated infections numbered more than 700,000 in the US in 2011 and up to 50 percent of invasive , multidrug-resistant K. pneumoniae infections have been fatal in some studies.
Contact isolation should be used for patients colonized or infected with highly antibiotic–resistant Klebsiella strains, such as ESBL-producing organisms. Single-use devices may minimize transmission from contaminated equipment.
