Monitoring the prevalence and antibiotic resistance of Klebsiella pneumoniae strains in a multidisciplinary hospital

The study evaluated the prevalence and resistance of Klebsiella pneumoniae strains to antibacterial drugs in a multidisciplinary hospital in Yakutsk. This study included 4580 Klebsiella pneumoniae strains isolated from patients of the Republican Hospital No. 2 - Emergency Medical Care Center in the period from 2016 to 2022. The analysis showed that the majority of Klebsiella pneumoniae strains detected in intensive care and surgical departments. The dynamics show an increase in the prevalence of Klebsiella pneumoniae strains and an increase in resistance to carbapenems, against the background of a high proportion of isolates producing extended-spectrum β-lactamases.
