Klebsiella pneumoniae as leading cause of pyogenic liver abscess: Three years study in Southern Vietnam

Figure 2 Etiology and resistance profile of pyogenic liver abscess. A: Spectrum of bacterial isolates in pus and blood among patients with pyogenic liver abscess, 2021-2024. Bars show columnbased percentages. Counts refer to isolates, not unique patients. Data show isolates (not unique patients). Column totals: Pus isolates n = 89; Blood isolates n = 42. Percentages are column-based. Species names standardized from raw abbreviations present in the source comma-separated values; B: Antibiotic resistance rates of Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates from pyogenic liver abscess, comparing pus (blue) and blood (orange) cultures. Antibiotic susceptibility testing was performed in 55 pus isolates and 26 blood isolates. Percentages are column-based. K. pneumoniae: Klebsiella pneumoniae; E. coli: Escherichia coli.
