Background: Klebsiella pneumoniae infection in nonhuman primates has been widely reported and causes significant morbidity and mortality. Animal deaths occur routinely at the Primate Research Center of IPB University. The results of necropsy and culture suggested a K. pneumoniae infection.
Methods: A mass health assessment of Cynomolgus monkeys (n = 429) was carried out by physical examination and molecular targeting K. pneumoniae (n = 96), family of Coronaviridae (n = 148) and Paramyxoviridae (n = 148).
Results: A total of 49.18% of the animals had clinical symptoms of respiratory disorders, abscesses, trauma, and others. PCR results indicated that 28.57% were positive for K. pneumoniae with 35.71% mortality, while all samples were negative for both virus families.
Conclusions: There have been outbreaks caused by K. pneumoniae and/or K. pneumoniae subsp. pneumoniae. This disease is chronic, infects all of the buildings, and no tendency for disease transmission according to gender and age class.

Infectious Diseases, KIMS ICON Hospital, Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, India.
Background: This study was done with objectives of determining the predictors of mortality in patients with Gram-Negative Bacilli (GNB) Blood stream Infection (BSI) along with estimating mortality attributable to carbapenem resistance (CR).
Methods: In this prospective cohort study (January 2023-September 2024), done in 3 tertiary care centres in India, patients found to have mono-microbial GNB BSI were included. Primary outcome was crude mortality at day 30 of onset of BSI.

The increasing incidence of infections attributed to hypervirulent carbapenem-resistant (Hv-CRKp) is of considerable concern. Bacteriophages, also known as phages, are viruses that specifically infect bacteria; thus, phage-based therapies offer promising alternatives to antibiotic treatments targeting Hv-CRKp infections. In this study, two isolated bacteriophages, Kpph1 and Kpph9, were characterized for their specificity against the Hv-CRKp NUHL30457 strain that possesses a K2 capsule serotype.
