Which organisms are included in the HNPEK group?

  1. Haemophilus, Neisseria, Proteus, E. coli, Klebsiella

  2. Citrobacter, Acinetobacter, Pseudomonas, Enterobacter, Serratia

  3. Enteric GNR, Enterococci/Streptococci, Bacteroides species

  4. Gentamycin, Tobramycin, Amikacin

The correct answer is: Haemophilus, Neisseria, Proteus, E. coli, Klebsiella

The other options are incorrect because they do not relate to the HNPEK group. Option B includes organisms that are typically found in healthcare settings and cause infections. Option C includes various types of bacteria that are not specifically part of the HNPEK group. Option D includes antibiotics, not organisms. Therefore, the only correct answer is A, which lists the specific bacterial organisms that are included in the HNPEK group.
