Purpose: is an important pathogenic bacterium in causing urinary tract infection. With the overuse of antibiotics, bacteria resistant to quinolones combined with carbapenems are increasing. In this study, we investigated the epidemiology, molecular characteristics, drug resistance of multidrug-resistant () isolated from urine samples.

Background: Klebsiella pneumoniae (Kpn), a WHO priority pathogen with high rates of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), has emerged as a leading cause of hospital acquired pneumonia and neonatal sepsis.
Objective: We aimed to define the clinical characteristics of a cohort of patients with Kpn infection in Dhaka, Bangladesh and to perform phenotypic and genetic characterization of the associated isolates.
Methods: We retrospectively extracted clinical data about patients at Dhaka Medical College Hospital from whom Klebsiella spp was isolated from a clinical specimen collected between February and September 2022.

Article Synopsis
- Multidrug-resistant bacteria, especially ESBL-producing strains like Klebsiella pneumoniae, are a major global health threat, with this study focusing on Kp04, a clinical isolate from Bangladesh.
- The investigation revealed high antibiotic resistance, with five isolated K. pneumoniae strains being resistant to 14 out of 21 tested antibiotics while only being sensitive to three specific ones.
- Whole-genome sequencing of Kp04 identified 75 genes associated with ESBL, virulence, and multiple drug resistance, highlighting similarities in virulence and resistance among isolates from Dhaka and Chattogram, indicating possible transmission of these strains in the region.

Background/objectives: Antimicrobial resistance represents a challenge to public health systems because of the array of resistance and virulence mechanisms that lead to treatment failure and increased mortality rates. Although for years the main driver of carbapenem resistance in Italy has been the KPC carbapenemase, recent years have seen an increase in VIM and NDM metallo-beta-lactamases (MBLs). We conducted a five-year survey of New Delhi Metallo-beta-Lactamase (NDM)-producing (NDM-Kpn) clinical isolates from the Lazio region, Italy; the study aimed to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underpinning their resistant and virulent phenotype.

The increase of antibiotic-resistant bacteria has become a global health emergency and the need to explore alternative therapeutic options arises. Phage therapy uses bacteriophages to target specific bacterial strains. Phages are highly specific and can target resistant bacteria.
