Investigating the relationship between carbapenemase production and biofilm formation in Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical isolates

Article scientifique 2023 Anglais

Résumé

Abstract Background Infections caused by K. pneumoniae rely heavily on biofilm formation, which also contributes to its ability to withstand the effects of antibiotics. Carbapenemase production in K. pneumoniae poses a formidable challenge, rendering it resistant to multiple antibiotic classes. Both biofilms and carbapenemases exert a significant influence on the pathogenicity of K. pneumoniae. This study aimed to explore the association between carbapenemase production and biofilm formation by employing a collection of clinically isolated K. pneumoniae strains.
