Background Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global threat that requires serious attention,
particularly when it is developed against colistin, which is considered one of the 'last …

Carbapenemases-producing K. pneumoniae are challenging antimicrobial therapy of
hospitalised patients, which is further complicated by colistin resistance. The aim of this …

© 2019 Arabacı et al. Introduction: Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae are a
major problem. We aimed to investigate carbapenemase-encoding genes and transferable …

Overuse and misuse of Carbapenems among Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates have caused
Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella Pneumonia (CRKP) during recent years. Colistin is one of …

Background: Colistin is the last-resort antibiotic available to date against Multiple-drug-
resistant (MDR) bacteria, particularly carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) …

Objective: Because of the increase in the infections caused by carbapenem-resistant
Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC)-producing K. pneumoniae; nowadays …

This study aims to describe the molecular mechanisms of carbapenem and colistin
resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae strains isolated from hospitalized patients in Lebanon …

Background Increasing use of colistin has led to the world-wide emergence of mobile
colistin resistant gene (mcr). The present study aimed to identify and characterise mcr and …

Methods: Sixty five isolates from blood, exudates and respiratory specimens collected
between 2016 and 2017 were studied. Colistin minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was …

The aim of this retrospective study was to investigate the resistance determinants and
genetic relatedness of colistin-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (Col R-Kp) isolates in the …
