Adult intracranial infection caused by an extended-spectrum-beta-lactamase-producing strain of hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae : a case report.

An ESBL-producing strain of hvKP could lead to invasive infection such as severe intracranial infection, with a relatively favorable prognosis. The outcome of the disease caused by infection is firmly related to the phenotypic features, for instance, virulence factors and antibiotic susceptibility. Due to its high lethality, timely empiric anti-infection therapy and close surveillance are necessary for patients with infection in the clinic.
