The Influence of Biofilms on Carbapenem Susceptibility and Patient Outcome in Device Associated K. pneumoniae Infections: Insights Into Phenotype vs Genome-Wide Analysis and Correlation

Abstract excerpt

Klebsiella pneumoniae is one of the leading causes of nosocomial infections. Carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae are on the rise globally. The biofilm forming ability of K. pneumoni ae further complicates patient management. There is still a knowledge gap on the association of biofilm formation with patient outcome and carbapenem susceptibility, which is investigated in present study. K. pneumoniae isolates from...
