Phenotypic and molecular characterization of multidrug-resistant Enterobacterales isolated from clinical samples in Palestine: a focus on extended-spectrum β-lactamase- and carbapenemase-producing isolates.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Infections resulting from multidrug-resistant Enterobacterales (MDR-E) pose a growing global threat, presenting challenges in treatment and contributing significantly to morbidity and mortality rates. The main objective of this study was to characterize phenotypically and genetically extended-spectrum β-lactamase- and carbapenemase- producing Enterobacterales (ESBLE and CPE respectively) isolated from...
