Prevalence and mechanisms of high-level carbapenem antibiotic tolerance in clinical isolates of <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i>
2025-02-19
Abstract excerpt
Antibiotic tolerance is the ability of bacteria to survive normally lethal doses of antibiotics for extended time periods. Clinically significant Enterobacterales, for example, can exhibit high tolerance to the last-resort antibiotic meropenem. Meropenem tolerance is associated with formation of cell wall-deficient spheroplasts that readily recover to rod shape and normal growth upon removal of the antibiotic. Bot...
