Distribution of Carbapenemase Genes among Clinical Isolates of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella spp. in a Tertiary Care Centre: A Cross-sectional Study
Introduction: Carbapenemase-Producing Enterobacterales (CPE), especially Escherichia coli and Klebsiella spp., have become a serious global health concern due to their role in nosocomial infections, limited treatment options, and high mortality. Resistance is primarily mediated by carbapenemase genes, often undetected...
