Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The emergence and transmission of tigecycline- and carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (TCRKP) have become a major concern to public health globally. Here, we investigated the molecular epidemiology and mechanisms of tigecycline resistance in carbapenem-resistant K pneumoniae (CRKP) isolates. METHODS: Forty-five non-duplicate CRKP isolates were collected from January 2017 to June 2019. We...
