Genetic diversity and antimicrobial resistance of clinical Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates: An ISSR-PCR analysis
The study underscores the genetic diversity of K. pneumoniae isolates and the utility of ISSR markers in bacterial typing. The high prevalence of MDR strains highlights the urgent need for enhanced molecular surveillance and infection control strategies. ISSR-PCR offers a cost-effective alternative for epidemiological studies, though integration with whole-genome sequencing could provide deeper insights into resistance mechanisms.
