Nosocomial CRKP infection was associated with exposure to carbapenems and fluoroquinolones within 3 months prior to hospitalization and the presence of a nasogastric tube. Patients infected with CRKP had higher 30-day and in-hospital mortality rates. A higher creatinine level, shock and co-infection with other resistant bacteria were independent predictors of in-hospital mortality in patients with CRKP infections.
