Prevalence, multidrug resistance patterns, and carbapenemase-encoding genes of carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli from clinical and non-clinical samples in Ethiopia: Systematic review and meta-analysis
Background Carbapenems are considered the last resort to treat life-threatening bacterial infections. However, their efficacy is increasingly compromised by carbapenemase-producing K. pneumoniae (CPKP) and Escherichia coli (CPEC).
