High prevalence of OXA-48-like and NDM carbapenemases among carbapenem resistant of clinical origin from Iran.

Background And Objectives: is increasingly developing resistance to last-resort antibiotics such as carbapenems. This study aimed to investigate the dissemination of common carbapenemase encoding genes among 48 clinical isolates of carbapenem-resistant (CRKP).

Materials And Methods: Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed by broth dilution and disc diffusion methods.
