Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Infections caused by carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) pose a huge health challenge worldwide. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of polymyxin resistance in clinical CRKP isolates in China and to characterize the molecular mechanisms underlying these polymyxin-resistant CRKP (PR-CRKP) isolates. METHODS: A total of 493 CRKP clinical isolates from patients were collected...
