Abstract excerpt
The emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Klebsiella pneumoniae poses a significant threat to public health. This study aims to elucidate the mechanisms of colistin and fluoroquinolone resistance using whole-genome sequencing in two K. pneumoniae isolates. Two clinical isolates of K. pneumoniae that phenotypically showed resistance to colistin and ciprofloxacin but did not yield any corresponding drug...
