Article Synopsis
- Klebsiella pneumoniae is a multi-drug-resistant pathogen linked to infections acquired in hospitals, and this study investigates its genetic and antibiotic resistance characteristics in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
- Researchers collected 23 isolates from various specimens, conducted antimicrobial susceptibility tests, and performed PCR to identify specific resistance genes like TEM, SHV, and KPC.
- The results showed high resistance to several common antibiotics, with the majority of isolates being SHV-9 gene positive, indicating a potential spread of this gene among the isolates.
