Article Synopsis
- Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) is a major cause of hospital-acquired pneumonia and shows multidrug resistance, especially in intensive care units.
- A study of 187 sputum samples found that CRKP isolates showed a high resistance rate to various antibiotics, while colistin and tigecycline were the most effective treatments.
- Combining solithromycin with meropenem and cefotaxime demonstrated strong synergistic effects, suggesting these combinations could be effective alternatives for treating infections caused by MDR CRKP.
