NaClO Co-selects antibiotic and disinfectant resistance in Klebsiella pneumonia: Implications for the potential risk of extensive disinfectant use during COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract excerpt

The inappropriate use of antibiotics is widely recognized as the primary driver of bacterial antibiotic resistance. However, less attention has been given to the potential induction of multidrug-resistant bacteria through exposure to disinfectants. In this study, Klebsiella pneumonia, an opportunistic pathogen commonly associated with hospital and community-acquired infection, was experimentally exposed to NaClO...
