It’s not the first time that SEHOS is not able to take more patients.

Klebsiella is a genus of non-motile, Gram-negative, oxidase-negative, rod-shaped bacteria with a prominent polysaccharide-based capsule.1 It is named after the German microbiologist Edwin Klebs (1834–1913). Frequent human pathogens, Klebsiella organisms
can lead to a wide range of disease states, notably pneumonia, urinary
tract infections, septicemia, and soft tissue infections.2Klebsiella species have also been implicated in the pathogenesis of ankylosing spondylitis and other spondyloarthropathies.
