Abstract excerpt
Klebsiella pneumoniae is an opportunistic pathogen that frequently causes nosocomial urinary tract infection (UTI). The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL), plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) genes, in acquired AmpC (ac-AmpC) β‑lactamase‑producing K. pneumoniae isolates from patients with nosocomial UTI and to characterize the transmissibility of...
