Abstract Carbapenemases-producing K. pneumoniae are challenging antimicrobial therapy of hospitalised patients, which is further complicated by colistin resistance. The aim of this study was to investigate the molecular epidemiological insights into carbapenemases-producing and colistin-resistant clinical K. pneumoniaeA total of 162 colistin resistant clinical strains of K. pneumoniae were collected during...
