CT image, pus of the patient’s renal abscess and stringing test, antibiotic sensitivity of K. pneumoniae. (A) On the fifth day after admission, two clumpy abnormal soft tissue density shadows were seen in the right kidney that were larger than those observed on the day of admission, and the hyperdense exudative shadows are slightly absorbed. (B) Renal abscess pus was extracted by puncture on the 10th day after admission. (C) Strain DT20240104 JSZ. K.P.X on a chocolate agar plate and a Luria broth agar plate revealed the “stringing” phenomenon. (D) Antibiotic sensitivity of K. pneumoniae. Note: The red arrows and red lines indicate the location of pathological changes in the right kidney; the yellow arrow indicates the normal-sized left kidney. R, resistance; I, intermediate resistance; S, susceptibility; MIC, minimum inhibitory concentration; “+”, positive for extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL) production.
