Colistin Heteroresistance in Klebsiella Pneumoniae Isolates and Diverse Mutations of PmrAB and PhoPQ in Resistant Subpopulations
11 Sept 2019
Abstract excerpt
Heteroresistance may pose a threat to the prognosis of patients following colistin treatment. We investigated colistin heteroresistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates from South Korea. Among 252 K. pneumoniae blood isolates, 231 were susceptible to polymyxins. Heteroresistance to colistin was determined using population analysis profiles, disk diffusion assays, and E-test strip tests for the susceptible...
