Colistin-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae species complex: The scenario in Mexico
This study provides a comprehensive snapshot of the epidemiology of ColR-KpSC in Mexico, highlighting a high prevalence of NDM-1 carbapenemase among ColR-KpSC isolates; this is in line with previous reports identifying NDM-1 as the most prevalent carbapenemase in KpSC. This problem is particularly concerning in Mexico because of the lack of therapeutic options.
