Chronic Diarrhea Caused by a Klebsiella oxytoca Toxin Producer Strain Following Antibiotic-Associated Hemorrhagic Colitis: Successful Treatment by Fecal Microbiota Transplant
Abstract:Klebsiella oxytoca is a Gram-negative bacterium found in faecal microbiota and known to cause several infections in humans, including antibiotic-associated hemorrhagic colitis. We present here a case of colitis caused by K. oxytoca toxin producing strains that evolved in chronic diarrhea successfully treated by fecal microbiota transplant.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
