Investigation of carbapenemase and mcr-1 genes in carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates
30 Jun 2019
Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae are a major problem. We aimed to investigate carbapenemase-encoding genes and transferable mcr-1 genes among 57 carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) isolates from hospitalized patients. METHODOLOGY: Antibiotic susceptibility tests were performed by Phoenix (BD). Results for ertapenem and colistin were confirmed by gradient diffusion and...
