Of the pathogenic Klebsiella species, K. pneumoniae is the most prevalent and clinically important. Infections with K. pneumoniae are usually hospital-acquired and occur primarily in patients with impaired host defenses.

Cephalosporins are broad-spectrum antibiotics that cover a wide range of organisms and are frequently used due to their tolerability and ease of administration.

Importance Extended-spectrumβ-lactamases mediate resistance to third-generation cephalosporins (eg, ceftriaxone) in Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Significant infections caused by these strains are usually treated with carbapenems, potentially selecting for carbapenem resistance.
