Abstract excerpt
We investigated the colistin resistance of Klebsiella pneumoniae blood isolates from South Korea. Among 252 K. pneumoniae isolates, only 11 (4.4%) demonstrated colistin resistance, of which, one was resistant to all antibiotics but tigecycline. Multilocus sequence typing analysis revealed ten sequence types among the 11 colistin-resistant isolates, indicating independent occurrence of colistin resistance in K....
