A retrospective study of the antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from urine samples over a decade in South India
The study reveals a significant rise in antimicrobial resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae, particularly to carbapenems and fluoroquinolones. Effective treatment requires antibiotic stewardship, strict infection control, and ongoing surveillance to maintain therapeutic options.
