Intermingled Klebsiella pneumoniae Populations Between Retail Meats and Human Urinary Tract Infections

Increasing antibiotic resistance among Klebsiella pneumoniae poses a significant public health threat. Phenotypic and genotypic comparisons of contemporaneously collected meat-source and clinical isolates suggest that retail meat is a potential vehicle for transmitting antibiotic-resistant K. pneumoniae from food animals to humans.
