Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> The gastrointestinal (GI) tract is the reservoir for multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens, specifically carbapenem-resistant (CR) Klebsiella pneumoniae and other Enterobacteriaceae , which often lead to the spread of antimicrobial resistance genes, severe extraintestinal infections, and lethal outcomes.
