Mortality due to<i>bla</i>_KPC<i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i>bacteraemia

Abstract

The selection of an ESBL/Kp control cohort with a ratio of 1:2 (study versus control group) helped resolve an as yet insufficiently settled question: bacteraemia with KPC/Kp is an independent risk factor for death, justifying the strict adherence to cohorting and isolation procedures.
