Phenotypic and genotypic characterization of Beta-lactamases in clinical isolates of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae from patients in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo

Abstract
Background: The emergence and worldwide circulation of strains of beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacterales represent a major public health problem. The aim of this study was the characterization of extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) and carbapenemase-producing strains of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae resistant strains isolated in Kinshasa hospitals. Methods: Urine samples were c...
