Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the increasing public health threat of antibacterial resistance, specifically focusing on carbapenemase genes in Gram-negative bacteria from Tunisian hospitals.
- Researchers identified 22 clinical strains (e.g., K. pneumoniae, A. baumannii) as resistant to imipenem using various laboratory methods, revealing significant resistance linked to different carbapenemase genes.
- Results indicate a diverse spread of carbapenemase-producing bacteria in Tunisian healthcare settings, emphasizing the need for monitoring and addressing this escalating issue.
