Abstract excerpt

Introduction: The prevalence of extensively drug-resistant (XDR) and multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains worldwide has limited the ability of antimicrobial therapy to treat severe bacterial infections. The emergence and rapid global dissemination of carbapenemase-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) strains occluded the therapeutic use of carbapenems, the last resort of β-lactams. In Saudi Arabia, major outbreaks...
