Phenotypic and genotypic screening of multidrug resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from ready to eat street food in Tanta, Egypt
The contaminated RTESF could be a reservoir for Klebsiella pneumoniae, therefore much care must be taken during preparation and consumption to avoid dissemination of MDR Klebsiella pneumoniae leading to subsequent treatment challenges. Our finding indicating that RTESF, if not prepared under hygienic conditions, could be a source of serious Klebsiella pneumoniae infection.
