Susceptibility evaluation of novel beta-lactam/beta-lactamase inhibitor combinations against carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae from bloodstream infections in hospitalized patients in Brazil

Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: Novel beta-lactam/beta-lactamase inhibitor (BIBLI) combinations are commercially available and have been used for treating carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) infections. Continuous surveillance of susceptibility profiles and resistance mechanism identification are necessary to monitor the evolution of resistance within these agents. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate...
