Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) has emerged as a major threat to global public health. Epidemiological and infection controls associated with CRKP are challenging because of several potential elements involved in a complicated cycle of
Carbapenem resistance among bacteria, especially Klebsiella pneumoniae and Acinetobacter baumannii, constitutes a dreadful threat to public health all over the world that requires developing new medications urgently. Carbapenem resistance emerges as a se
New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase Klebsiella pneumoniae Catheter-related infection Hemodialysis Introduction Expression of the β-lactamase enzymes known as carbapenemases has become widespread among clinically important Enterobacteriaceae and non-enteric gram-negative bacilli (Pseudomonas spp. and Acinetobacter bauman...
pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC-Kp). The aim was to evaluate risk factors for mortality and the impact of a combination therapy of colistin plus recommended regimen or higher dosage of tigecycline. Methods A prospective assessment of severe monomicrobial KPC-Kp infections occurring after open abdominal ...
Klebsiella pneumoniae Whole genome sequencing Antimicrobial resistance Oman 1. Introduction Antibiotic resistant bacteria are a growing health threat worldwide [1]. As such, carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) is a preeminent antibiotic resistant group. CRE confers resistance to carbapenems by hydro...
Isolation precautionsThis study examined predictors of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) colonization and risk factors for the development of CRKP infection in patients initially only colonized with CRKP. A total of 464 patients with CRKP rectal colonization (CRKP-RC) were identified. Two...
