Emergence of mcr-1 gene and carbapenemase-encoding genes among colistin-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical isolates in Jordan

Abstract

The study's findings demonstrated the presence of the MCR-1 gene in the K. pneumoniae clinical isolates for the first time in Jordan and indicated that the KPC and IMP encoded carbapenemases were the most prevalent K. pneumoniae carbapenemases in Jordan patients.
