Genomic Epidemiology of Carbapenem- and Colistin-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolates From Serbia: Predominance of ST101 Strains Carrying a Novel OXA-48 Plasmid
21 Feb 2020
Abstract excerpt
Klebsiella pneumoniae is a major cause of severe healthcare-associated infections and often shows MDR phenotypes. Carbapenem resistance is frequent, and colistin represents a key molecule to treat infections caused by such isolates. Here we evaluated the antimicrobial resistance mechanisms and the genomic epidemiology of clinical K. pneumoniae isolates from Serbia. Consecutive non-replicate K. pneumoniae clinical...
