Klebsiella pneumoniae is an opportunistic pathogen in neonates. A 23-day-old newborn developed septic arthritis of the right hip due to an ESBL-producing strain. A recurrence on the knee was observed at 4 years of age. A molecular investigation confirmed the clonal link of the strains responsible for the two infections and allowed us to identify virulence factors.
肺炎克雷伯菌是新生儿中的一种机会致病菌。一名23天大的新生儿因产超广谱β-内酰胺酶(ESBL)菌株而发生右髋关节化脓性关节炎。4岁时观察到膝关节复发。分子研究证实了导致这两种感染的菌株之间的克隆联系,并使我们能够鉴定毒力因子。
