Abstract
MORALES-MORENO, Adriana et al. First Clinical Cases of OXA-48-Producing Klebsiella pneumoniae in Peru. Rev. Cuerpo Med. HNAAA [online]. 2021, vol.14, n.3, pp.379-382. Epub Nov 26, 2021. ISSN 2225-5109. http://dx.doi.org/10.35434/rcmhnaaa.2021.143.1260.
Background: Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) represents a global public health concern and systemic infections associated with OXA-48 carbapenemase are increasingly being reported in Latin America. Here, we present the first 2 cases of systemic infections by OXA-48-Producing Klebsiella pneumoniae in Peru. A favorable clinical response was observed after targeted treatment with colistin as a backbone.
Keywords : Klebsiella Pneumoniae; OXA-48, carbapenemases, Peru.
