Article Synopsis
- This study examined carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) strains in a Chinese hospital, focusing on their resistance to multiple antibiotics, including aminoglycosides and tigecycline.
- Samples from ten CRKP strains were collected, and various tests including antimicrobial susceptibility testing and whole-genome sequencing were conducted to assess resistance mechanisms and gene transfer.
- The results revealed that these strains had high antibiotic resistance, identified critical resistance genes, and showed potential for clonal and horizontal transfer, marking them as significant public health threats.
Background: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) and the antibiotic resistance of pathogenic bacteria pose severe threats to public health in the current healthcare environment.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess the frequency distribution of bacterial pathogens causing UTIs as well as the characteristics of antibiotic susceptibility and resistance.
Methods: The retrospective study was conducted on 32,391 samples of midstream urine culture from January 1, 2020, to December 31, 2022, in Jiaxing.
