Systematic review: Mechanisms used by Klebsiella pneumoniae and Enterobacter spp to acquire their antibiotic multiresistant and what treatment alternatives exist.

Abstract

The management of infections of multiresistant bacterial etiology has become one of the biggest public health problems, both in financial costs and in the cost of human lives. 1 Within these infections, those produced by the Enterobacteriaceae family stand out, being representative Klebsiella pneumoniae and Enterobacter spp, which have a wide variety of mechanisms that give them the possibility of generating resistance to antibiotics; 2 therefore, there is no standardized treatment management that can be used in this type of infections, which have become a very important public health problem. Therefore, it is necessary to establish treatment alternatives that demonstrate greater efficacy. The purpose of this work then was to describe the mechanisms used by Klebsiella pneumoniae and Enterobacter spp. To acquire antibiotic multiresistant and what treatment alternatives exist for these cases.
