Klebsiella pneumoniae: development of carbapenem resistance due to acquisition of blaNDM-1 during antimicrobial therapy in twin infants with pneumonia

Objectives: To identify the mechanism of in vivo development of carbapenem resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae.Methods: Seven sequential isolates of K. pneumoniae were obtained from twin infants with pneumonia. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed by agar dilution. Carbapenemases inclu...
