Abstract
Klebsiella pneumoniae (KP) is one of the most common clinical drug-resistant bacteria, which is mainly related to the production of broad-spectrum beta lactamase and cephalosporin hydrolase. Carbapenems, an atypical beta lactam antibiotic, has been the most effective antibiotic for the treatment of bacterial infections caused by KP in hospital. However, with the extensive application of carbapenem antibiotics in clinic, many reports on carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella Pneumonia (CRKP) have appeared in many parts of the world. The CRKP could cause a higher mortality and morbidity. Here, we report a 26-year-old male patient with severe traumatic brain injury who underwent intracranial infection caused by CRKP after craniocerebral operation. He was successfully cured with a combination of emergency craniotomy, multidisciplinary consultation, effective nursing and strict quarantine measures. In the present report, we emphasize the effective nursing and strict quarantine measures, which contribute to the treatment of bacterial infections caused by KP.
