Abstract

Klebsiella commonly colonizes the intestinal tract of hospitalized patients and is a leading cause of health care-associated infections. Colonization is associated with subsequent infection, but the factors determining this progression are unclear. A cohort study was performed, in which intensive care and hematology/oncology patients with Klebsiella colonization based on rectal swab culture were enrolled and monitored for infection for 90 days after a positive swab. Electronic medical records were analyzed for patient factors associated with subsequent infection, and variables of potential significance in a bivariable analysis were used to build a final multivariable model. Concordance between colonizing and infecting isolates was assessed by

Keywords: Klebsiella; cohort study; infection risk; intestinal colonization; multivariable model
