Coming soonA *Klebsiella* complicated urinary tract infection is an infection of the urinary tract—including the bladder, ureters, or kidneys—caused by Gram-negative bacilli of the genus *Klebsiella* (predominantly *Klebsiella pneumoniae*).
It develops in individuals with factors that compromise urinary tract defenses or increase treatment failure risk, such as structural abnormalities, urinary obstruction, neurogenic dysfunction, indwelling urinary catheters, immunosuppression, or advanced age.
Pathophysiologically, *Klebsiella* relies on virulence traits including a protective polysaccharide capsule, adhesins, and robust biofilm formation that facilitate adherence and persistence on uroepithelial cells and catheter surfaces.
Clinically, it frequently manifests as pyelonephritis or severe lower tract disease, carries an elevated risk of multidrug resistance through extended-spectrum beta-lactamases or carbapenemases, and can rapidly progress to bacteremia and urosepsis.
