Klebsiella pneumoniae urinary tract infection: A multicentric study highlights significant regional variations in antimicrobial susceptibility across India
Abstract
Highlights • Mapping of the antimicrobial susceptibility of Klebsiella pneumoniae in urinary tract infection was undertaken by 18 centers across India.• The national susceptibilities to nitrofurantoin, meropenem, and fosfomycin were 39%, 81%, and 89%, respectively.• The proportion of susceptibility of K. pneumoniae to different antimicrobials was directly linked to geographic region (P <0.001).• South India had the highest mean susceptibility to trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, piperacillin/tazobactam, imipenem, and meropenem.• Humidity, and low and high temperatures (P <0.05) had a statistically significant effect on the proportion of susceptible K. pneumoniae.
