Abstract

Enterobacter aerogenes was recently renamed Klebsiella aerogenes . This study aimed to identify differences in clinical characteristics, outcomes, and bacterial genetics among patients with K. aerogenes versus Enterobacter species bloodstream infections (BSI). We prospectively enrolled patients with K. aerogenes or Enterobacter cloacae complex ( Ecc ) BSI from 2002 to 2015.
