Özet

Introduction: Carbapenems are frequently used in the treatment of multidrug-resistant infections caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae. The aim of the study is to definition and incidence of transferable carbapenemase genes of carbapenem resistant K. pneumoniae (CRKP) and to determine clonal relatedness of these strains in tertiary care hospital in Turkey.
