“Detection of Colistin Susceptibility in MDR Klebsiella Pneumoniae Isolates from Clinical Samples of CCU Patients in a Tertiary Care Hospital Kanpur”

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: -Colistin is generally used to treat infections with multidrug-resistant bacteria. Failure of drugs against Klebsiella pneumoniaebacteria has led to the unprecedented increase in the use of colistin (one of the last-resort drugs) and subsequent emergence anddissemination of colistin resistance.
AIM: -To estimate the prevalence of Colistin-Resistance Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKp) in
MDR isolates collected from different Critical care units (CCUs) and to determine the clinical
outcomes of the patients.
