Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment for carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-Kp) infection is a big challenge for clinicians due to its high mortality. Every effort has been made to improve its clinical outcomes. However, treatment according to synergy susceptibility testing has never been reported in the literature. We reported a 29-year-old systemic lupus erythematosus female with CR-Kp blood stream infection. We highlighted the identification by next generation sequencing and treatment according to synergy susceptibility testing in the case.

A 56-year-old woman with a history of diabetes mellitus presented with high fever but no abdominal pain. An abdominal computed tomography scan showed a large liver abscess. Hypervirulent, string test-positive, rmpA/ ampA2-, and iutA-positive Klebsiella pneumoniae was rapidly identified from drainage fluid of the liver abscess using metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS). After intravenous antibiotic therapy and drainage of the abscess, the patient’s condition resolved. This case report highlights the value of mNGS in rapidly and accurately identifying a pathogenic microorganism, which helps reduce the incidence of antimicrobial resistance and enables the targeted use of antibiotics.

This is a description of fatal sepsis caused by infection with Klebsiella variicola, which is an isolate genetically related to Klebsiella pneumoniae. The patient’s condition was incorrectly diagnosed as common sepsis caused by K. pneumoniae, which was identified using an automated identification system, but next-generation sequencing and the non-fermentation of adonitol finally identified the cause of sepsis as K. variicola.
