Epidemiology, antimicrobial resistance profile and management of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae among mothers with suspected sepsis in Ethiopia
The prevalence of maternal sepsis caused by carbapenem- resistant K. pneumoniae is high and serious attention needs to be given to combat transmission. Therefore, improving awareness, early diagnosis, IPC, integrated maternal surveillance, improved sanitation and efficient antimicrobial stewardship are crucial to combating bacterial maternal sepsis.
