Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Klebsiella pneumoniae, a Gram-negative pathogen, especially which produces carbapenemase, is seen as a major threat to public health due to rapid plasmid-mediated spread of resistance and limited therapeutic options available for treatment. Although colistin has been recognized as a "last resort" antimicrobial for multidrug-resistant K. pneumoniae infections, these isolates have developed resistance to colistin as a result of its intensive use. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of double-carbapenem treatment of colistin-resistant K. pneumoniae experimental sepsis in mice.
