Insights into Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenem resistance—a two-year retrospective study from a Romanian tertiary care hospital
Rates of resistance remain concerningly high amongst CRKP isolates, with double carbapenemase producers and XDR/PDR isolates dominating the landscape, implying the foreseeable need for updated means of approaching antimicrobial resistance, as last-resort antimicrobials become less effective through increasing resistance.
