Exogenous colonization of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus in preterm infants: a PFGE-based molecular epidemiology study.

Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) pose significant threats in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) due to their high transmission potential and limited treatment options. Identifying the source of colonization and detection of predominant antibiotic-resistant genes are crucial for effective infection control measures. METHODOLOGY: In this...
