Popis: This case report describes a patient with post-neurosurgical infection and bacteremia caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae. There is limited evidence to guide antibiotic treatment decisions for such infections. The patient was treated with meropenem-vaborbactam (MEV). MEV monotherapy was associated with bacteremia clearance.
