Title:Two cases of monomicrobial intrabdominal abscesses due to KPC- 3
Klebsiella pneumoniae ST258 clone
Version: 2Date:21 June 2011
Reviewer: Nobuyuki Toshikuni
Reviewer's report:
This manuscript describes two cases of intraabdominal abscesses. The results of
genetic analysis of the pathogenic bacteria are intriguing. The authors highlight
that microbiological diagnosis and a therapeutic approach using new and old
antibiotics combined with radiological intervention are useful in the management
of the serious disease. However, this seems a rather common strategy for
controlling bacterial abscesses. The reviewer expects new perspectives in
diagnostic or therapeutic approaches in the field.
Please correct the misspelled word, “Intrabdominal”.
Level of interest: An article of limited interest
Quality of written English: Acceptable
Statistical review: No, the manuscript does not need to be seen by a
statistician.
