TL;DR: Multivariate analysis including other predictors of mortality showed that use of a carbapenem during the 5-day period after onset of bacteremia due to an ESBL-producing organism was independently associated with lower mortality.

TL;DR: A distinctive form of K. pneumoniae infection, often causing liver abscess, was identified, almost exclusively in Taiwan.

TL;DR: A prospective study of Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteremia revealed a close relationship between ESBL production and ciprofloxacin resistance, which is particularly worrisome because the first reported instance of plasmid-mediated ciprafloxACin resistance has been in an isolate of K. pneumoniae also possessing an ESBL.

TL;DR: A striking clinical finding concerning a new manifestation of community-acquired K. pneumoniae infection, often causing liver abscess, was identified, almost exclusively in Taiwan.
