Abstract excerpt
Klebsiella pneumoniae strains that produce Klebsiella pneumoniae Carbapenemase (KPC) variants displaying resistance to ceftazidime-avibactam (CZA) often remain susceptible to meropenem (MEM), suggesting a potential therapeutic use of this carbapenem antibiotic. However, in vitro studies indicate that these sorts of strains can mutate becoming MEM-resistant, raising concerns about the effectiveness of carbapenems...
