Phenotypic and genotypic characterization of carbapenem resistance mechanisms in Klebsiella pneumoniae from blood culture specimens: A study from North India
BACKGROUND: Emergence of carbapenem resistance among Enterobacteriaceae in different geographical regions is of great concern as these bacteria are easily transmissible among patients. Carbapenem-resistance in Enterobacteriaceae is due to production of carbapenemases of various classes and hyper pro...
