The potential for aerosol generation during bronchoscopy to facilitate the transmission of multidrug-resistant bacteria remains incompletely understood. This study aimed to assess the risk of ...

This result may be attributable to K. pneumoniae belonging to the ESKAPE group of pathogens (Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas ...

The study, “Genomically Defined Hypervirulent Klebsiella Pneumoniae Contributed to Early-Onset Increased Mortality,” was published in Nature Communications on March 1. This study builds on researchers ...

In preliminary studies of mice, the presence of Chlamydia pneumoniae in the nasal passage was associated with changes in the brain that are a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease. Need another reason ...

Researchers have concocted a cocktail of bacteria-fighting viruses with the potential to successfully treat antibiotic-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae infections. In a recent study, researchers led by ...

In the 3D model of the human nasal passage, the spray blocked and neutralized nearly 100 percent of all viruses and bacteria tested, including influenza, SARS-CoV-2, RSV, adenovirus, and Klebsiella ...

Researchers have a new battle tactic to fight drug-resistant bacterial infections. Their strategy involves using collections of bacteriophages, viruses that naturally attack bacteria. In a new ...

Klebsiella pneumoniae are common bacteria found in people’s intestines where they cause little harm. However, when the bacteria escape to other body sites, such as open wounds, the lungs, the ...

All the mice given the nasal spray survived exposure to a deadly flu virus and didn’t develop signs of illness; all that didn't get the spray died.
