Characterization of Wide Spectrum Beta-Lactamase Producing Klebsiella Pneumoniae Strains Isolated from Two Intensive Care Units
Keywords:
Klebsiella pneumoniae, beta lactamase, intensive careAbstract
The objective of the research was to determine the microbiological and molecular characteristics associated with infections caused by this bacteria. K. pneumoniae strains were identified by conventional procedures. Susceptibility to antimicrobial agents was performed through the agar disk diffusion test according to the CLSI 2010.
