title: Klebsiella pneumoniae infection complicating a puncture wound of the foot: a case report.
abstract: Klebsiella pneumoniae infections of the feet are rare following puncture wounds. We present a case of such an infection following a nail injury, and stress that there is nothing distinctive about the clinical presentation with this organism and that bacterial cultures and sensitivity tests of isolates are necessary for proper wound management.
