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.
B96. 1 - Klebsiella pneumoniae [K. pneumoniae] as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere. ICD-10-CM.
K. pneumoniae often causes bacterial pneumonia, or infection of the lungs. It happens when the bacteria enter your respiratory tract.
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).

Conclusion: The gram negative bacteria of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae were the most common uropathogenic bacteria causing UTI.
Klebsiellae UTIs are clinically indistinguishable from UTIs caused by other common organisms. Clinical features include frequency, urgency, dysuria, hesitancy, low back pain, and suprapubic discomfort. Systemic symptoms such as fever and chills are usually indicative of a concomitant pyelonephritis or prostatitis.
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].
Disease at a Glance In the United States, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Klebsiella oxytoca are the two strains responsible for most human illnesses. Many Klebsiella infections are acquired in the hospital setting or in long-term care facilities. In fact, Klebsiellae account for up to 8% of all hospital-acquired infections.
