Phenotypic screening and molecular characterization of carbapenemase-producing Gram-negative bacilli recovered from febrile neutropenic pediatric cancer patients in Egypt.

Abstract excerpt

AIM: Infections with carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (GNB) are among the most frequent complications in the immunocompromised cancer patients because of their considerable morbidity and mortality. Therefore, the aim of the current study was to characterize the prevalence of carbapenemase-producing GNB recovered from febrile neutropenic pediatric cancer patients in Egypt.
