Co-occurrence of blaKPC and blaOXA-48 genes in Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates from a tertiary-care hospital in Ecuador and evidence of emerging genotypic-phenotypic AMR inconsistencies.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing threat to public health, especially in low- and middle-income countries. This study aimed to identify multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens in clinical samples from a tertiary hospital in Ecuador, evaluate their phenotypic antibiotic susceptibility, and compare these findings with genotypic resistance patterns. METHODS: Clinical samples were collected from an...
