OXA-48 Carbapenemase-Encoding Transferable Plasmids of <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> Recovered from Egyptian Patients Suffering from Complicated Urinary Tract Infections

OXA-48 Carbapenemase-Encoding Transferable Plasmids of <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> Recovered from Egyptian Patients Suffering from Complicated Urinary Tract Infections

Gram-negative bacteria are common causes of urinary tract infections (UTIs). Such pathogens can acquire genes encoding multiple mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance, including carbapenem resistance. The aim of this study was to detect the carbapenemase-producing ability of some Gram-negative bacte...
