Proof‑of‑concept study to quantify changes in intestinal loads of KPC-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae in colonised patients following selective digestive decontamination with oral gentamicin

Objectives: To monitor quantitatively the extent of intestinal colonisation by KPC-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (KPC-Kp) in colonised patients who receive selective digestive decontamination (SDD) with oral gentamicin. Methods: We developed a real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) method for determina...
