Abstract

This case report details the fourth documented case of urinary tract infection caused by Kluyvera cryocrescens and the first in a neonate. Including a brief literature review on urinary tract infections associated with this organism, the report highlights the importance of considering uncommon pathogens in neonatal infections and the necessity of a thorough diagnostic approach to initiate appropriate antimicrobial treatment.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.
