Characterization of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae in bloodstream infections: antibiotic resistance, virulence, and treatment strategies
Our study reveals the multifaceted resistance and virulence profiles of CRKP in bloodstream infections and highlights the potential clinical value of berberine hydrochloride as an adjunctive therapeutic agent. These findings support further clinical investigations into incorporating traditional Chinese medicine to improve outcomes in patients with CRKP bloodstream infections.
