Chlorhexidine and benzalkonium chloride: promising adjuncts in combating multidrug resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae in healthcare settings
The cepA gene is closely associated with extensive drug resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae, emphasizing its role in antimicrobial resistance. Optimized biocide formulations, when properly developed and applied, can play a crucial role in combating and preventing infections caused by multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae.
