Molecular epidemiology of carbapenem resistant gram-negative bacilli from infected pediatric population in tertiary - care hospitals in Medellín, Colombia: an increasing problem.

PMID: 275857072016Medellín, Colombia

Key Findings

The study identified KPC carbapenemase as the primary resistance mechanism in Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates, with KPC-2 and KPC-3 variants detected. VIM-2 carbapenemase was found in Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates, and KPC-3 was detected in Enterobacter cloacae.
