Abstract:Resistance to carbapenems has become a problem due to Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae), harboring carbapenemases. Among them, there are isolates that are recognized as carbapenem-susceptible; however, these carbapenemase-producing strains with low meropenem minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) may pose a threat to public health. We aimed to investigate the impact of the ability to produce carbapenemases by a bacterial isolate on the effectiveness of meropenem in the hollow-fiber infection model. K. pn… Show more
