Genetic Diversity of Virulent Polymyxin-Resistant <i>Klebsiella aerogenes</i> Isolated from Intensive Care Units

Genetic Diversity of Virulent Polymyxin-Resistant <i>Klebsiella aerogenes</i> Isolated from Intensive Care Units

This study evaluated the scope and genetic basis of polymyxin-resistant <i>Klebsiella aerogenes</i> in Brazil. Eight polymyxin-resistant and carbapenemase-producing <i>K. aerogenes</i> strains were isolated from patients admitted to the ICU of a tertiary hospital. Bacterial s...
