The Enterobacteriaceae family comprises the majority of all clinical bacterial hospital samples. The appearance of carbapenemases is a major threat, which impairs the treatment of bacterial infections, due to its ability ...

Enterobacteriaceae resistant to carbapenems cause great impact on public health due to their different evolutionary mechanisms of resistance. The mechanism of resistance that recently has been reported in Enterobacteriaceae ...

We characterized five carbapenemase-producing <i>Enterobacterales</i> (CPE) isolates from two health care institutions in Lima, Peru. The isolates were identified as Klebsiella pneumoniae (<i>n</i> = 3), Citrobacter ...

Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (KPC-Kp) is an emerging pathogen with acquired resistance to several antimicrobial classes and produces infections associated with considerable mortality. ...

Background and Objectives: In Peru, the presence of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria is a constant concern in hospitals and has likely increased in frequency during the pandemic. The objective of the study was to analyze ...
