A team of US researchers has discovered that three different species of Klebsiella bacteria can cause life-threatening infections in hospital patients and that all three share genes that confer resistance to the most commonly used antibiotics. The study, published this week in mSphere(R), an open-access journal of the American Society for Microbiology, improves physicians' understanding of Klebsiella infections and ["]
