Molecular characterization of multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli harbouring extended spectrum beta-lactamases and carbapenemases genes at a tertiary hospital, Kenya
Background. Multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram negative rods are increasingly being reported in sub-Saharan Africa. Molecular investigations play an important role, alongside other measures, in controlling nosocomial infections attributed to these organisms. This study aimed to determine the common exte...
