Background/purposeKlebsiella pneumoniaebacteremia-induced sepsis is a clinically important condition with a high mortality rate and various known virulence factors. However, studies on the association of these virulence factors with the occurrence ofK. pneumoniaebacteremia-induced sepsis are scarce. We aimed to investigate clinical variables and virulence factors in patients withK. pneumoniaebacteremia-induced sepsis.MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 76 patients withK. pneumoniaebacteremia between January 2012 and July 2017. Patients were divided into sepsis (n = 25) and non-sepsis (n = 51) groups. Patient background characteristics, antimicrobial regimens, and prognosis were evaluated. We assessed the distribution of virulence factors related toK. pneumoniae,such as mucoviscosity, capsular polysaccharide, and siderophores. Siderophore production levels were determined by measuring the orange halo zone on chrome azurol S agar plate assay.ResultsThere were no intergroup differences in male-to-female ratio and age. Multivariable analysis revealed that siderophore production level (p< 0.01) was an independent predictor ofK. pneumoniaebacteremia-induced sepsis. Furthermore, the optimal cut-off point of siderophore production to predict sepsis was 9.6 mm (sensitivity, 86%; specificity, 76%; AUC, 0.81).ConclusionSiderophore production was an independent predictor of sepsis caused byK. pneumoniaebacteremia. The optimal cut-off point for siderophore production for sepsis occurrence prediction was 9.6 mm. To improve outcomes, patients withK. pneumoniaebacteremia-induced sepsis with high siderophore production levels should be managed prudently.
