Chromosomal Mechanisms of Colistin Resistance in Clinical Isolates of Carbapenem‐Resistant <em>Klebsiella pneumoniae</em> from a Tunisian Tertiary‐Care Hospital
2025-12-02
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> /Objectives: Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) is a major nosocomial pathogen. Although newer agents have reduced colistin use in high-income countries, this polymyxin remains important in many low- and middle-income settings. Colistin resistance in K. pneumoniae is mainly driven by chromosomal changes in the MgrB–PhoPQ pathway or plasmid-mediated mcr genes. This study aimed t...
