Abstract
The rapid diffusion of carbapenem-resistant (C-R) Klebsiella pneumoniae (Kp) represents a global concern from both clinical and public health standpoints. In particular, bloodstream infections sustained by C-R Kp are associated with high mortality rates and the treatment of these clinical picture is a major challenge for clinicians.

The rapid diffusion of carbapenem-resistant (C-R) Klebsiella pneumoniae (Kp) represents a global concern from both clinical and public health standpoints
The annual incidence of C-S Kp BSI remained steady throughout the study period. 30-day survival was significantly lower in C-R patients than C-S patients (Logrank p = 0.002)
In our hospital we observed a dramatic increase in the incidence of C-R Kp BSI occurred from 2009 to 2014
Summary
The rapid diffusion of carbapenem-resistant (C-R) Klebsiella pneumoniae (Kp) represents a global concern from both clinical and public health standpoints. From 3rd International Conference on Prevention and Infection Control (ICPIC 2015) Geneva, Switzerland. Introduction The rapid diffusion of carbapenem-resistant (C-R) Klebsiella pneumoniae (Kp) represents a global concern from both clinical and public health standpoints. Bloodstream infections sustained by C-R Kp are associated with high mortality rates and the treatment of these clinical picture is a major challenge for clinicians.
