Popis:	Antimicrobial therapies for Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-KP) infections are limited. We examine the presentation of and response to therapy in CR-KP osteomyelitis and soft tissue infections. Tigecycline monotherapy cured mild infections; the addition of amikacin and colistimethate did not increase survival in dire cases. The 45% mortality rate underscores the gravity of these infections.
