Introduction
About Klebsiella Pneumoniae
Klebsiella pneumoniae is a rod shaped, gram negative and non-motile pathogenic enteric bacteria which is known to penetrate human intestinal barrier and causes various infections and diseases. This is a lactose fermenting anaerobic bacteria that belongs to Enterobacteriaceae genus. Klebsiella causes various diseases like hospital acquired urinary tract infections (UTIs), pneumonia, septicemia and community-acquired pyogenic liver abscess (PLA).
Intestines are considered as major reservoirs of Klebsiella pneumoniae, though intestines are lined by a mucosal epithelial layer that creates a barrier for pathogens and infections caused by them. According to the studies, there are two major routes through which microbes penetrate intestinal epithelium i.e. intracellular and paracellular pathways.
Infections Caused by Klebsiella Pneumoniae
Klebsiella are ubiquitous in nature and have two common habitats i.e. environment (water, sewage, etc.) and as a saprophyte in humans. These do not cause any harm when they are in intestines but results in severe infections when they start spreading in other parts of body. This can infect our lungs, bladder, brain, liver, eyes, blood and wounds.It is known to infect 8% of all nosocomial bacterial infections.
How Infections are Spread ?
The carrier rates dramatically increases in the hospital environment as it has been reported that hospitalized patients have 77% klebsiella in stool, 19% in pharynx and approximately 42% on the hands. This can spread from person to person by contaminated hands of healthcare personnel or through air. Patients may also get exposed to this pathogen when they are on ventilators or vein catheters.

- Sore lymph nodes
Mechanism of Action
Klebsiella inhibits the process of phagocytosis in which the normal of functioning of WBC’s get hindered. This in turn reduces the inflammatory responses by innate immune response. This bacterial strain has the ability to develop resistance against antimicrobial peptides released by the immunity.
How Infections can be Diagnosed ?
Various clinical diagnosis which are done for the infected tissue are urine, blood, stool test, and sputum. Some of the imaging test such as ultrasound rays, computerized tomography (CT) may also confirm the infection. Sometimes GI mapping is done in severe conditions.
