Genomic Characterization of Multidrug-Resistant Extended Spectrum β-Lactamase-Producing <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> from Clinical Samples of a Tertiary Hospital in South Kivu Province, Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo

Genomic Characterization of Multidrug-Resistant Extended Spectrum β-Lactamase-Producing <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> from Clinical Samples of a Tertiary Hospital in South Kivu Province, Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo

Multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing extra-intestinal <i>K. pneumoniae</i> are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to characterize the resistance and virulence profiles of extra-intestinal MDR ESBL-producing <i>...
