Carbapenem resistance in gram-negative pathogens in an Iranian hospital: high prevalence of OXA-type carbapenemase genes
Our study highlights the prevalence of carbapenemase- producing gram-negative isolates among pediatric patients. Notable resistance patterns, especially in K. pneumoniae and E. coli, underline the urgent need for proactive interventions, including appropriate antibiotic prescription practices and strengthening of antibiotic stewardship programs.
