Epidemiological and genetic characteristics of clinical carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales isolates from Batna hospitals in Algeria
This is the first study reporting the detection of carbapenemase genes in Klebsiella aerogenes, Enterobacter sakazakii, Raoultella ornithinolytica, Serratia ficaria, and Serratia marcescens and specific carbapenemase gene combinations in Algeria. The present study revealed that bla<sub>OXA-48-like</sub> were found to be the predominant carbapenemase genes in Batna hospitals.
