It was observed that polymicrobial KP-BSI accounted for a significant proportion among all KP-BSI in the current study. Hospitalization in burn ward and intensive care unit was an independent risk factor for the development of polymicrobial KP-BSI. The patients with polymicrobial KP-BSI had a higher rate of carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae and might have poor outcomes compared to monomicrobial KP-BSI.
