Epidemiology and Outcome of Klebsiella Species Bloodstream Infection: A Population-Based Study

The incidence rate of Klebsiella spp BSI increased with age. There was no temporal change or seasonal variation in incidence rate of Klebsiella spp BSI during the past decade. The 28-day all-cause mortality rate of Klebsiella spp BSI was relatively low; however, a respiratory source of BSI was associated with a poorer outcome.
