Gut Microbiota and Clinical Features Distinguish Colonization With Klebsiella pneumoniae Carbapenemase-Producing Klebsiella pneumoniae at the Time of Admission to a Long-term Acute Care Hospital.

We identified microbiota and clinical features that distinguished KPC-Kp gut colonization in LTACH patients, a population particularly susceptible to KPC-Kp infection. These features may warrant further investigation as markers of risk for KPC-Kp colonization.
