<i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> is an important human pathogen that causes diseases such as urinary tract infections, pneumonia, bloodstream infections, bacteremia, and sepsis. The rise of multidrug-resistant strains has severely limited the available treatments for <i>K. pneumoniae</i> infections. On the other hand, <i>K. pneumoniae</i> activity (and related infections) urgently requires improved management strategies. A growing number of medical applications are using nanotechnology, which uses materials with atomic or molecular dimensions, to diagnose, eliminate, or reduce the activity of different infections. In this review, we start with the traditional treatment and detection method for <i>K. pneumoniae</i> and then concentrate on selected studies (2015–2022) that investigated the application of nanoparticles separately and in combination with other techniques against <i>K. pneumoniae</i>.
