Overview

This analysis reveals antibiotic resistance patterns in Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates, highlighting biofilm formation and virulence factors.

Key Points

  • A significant portion of K. pneumoniae isolates are carbapenem-resistant and resistant to most antibiotics tested.
  • 66 isolates of K. pneumoniae were analyzed, with 14 identified as carbapenem-resistant, including various infection sources.
  • Biofilm formation was observed in 78.57% of carbapenem-resistant isolates, indicating potential for increased virulence.
  • Colistin and tigecycline were identified as the most effective antibiotics against carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae.
