[Klebsiella septicemia. Epidemiologic aspects based on antigenic and biochemical studies of strains]
Abstract:
50 strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae were isolated by blood cultures at Brugmann Hospital (Brussels) between 1967 and 1971. The biochemical and antigenic characteristics of the strains and their sensitivity to antibiotics were determined for epidemiological purposes. With the exception of the strains found in an hemodialysis unit, where the study showed the existence of an epidemic focus caused by serotype 28 biotype d, the strains consisted of a large number of capsular serotypes and of biotypes, excluding a single source of contamination for these septicemic infections. There is no relationship between the serotype of the strains and their sensitivity to antibiotics.
