20254 citationsOpen accessFederal University Oye-Ekiti

Abstract

This study underscores the alarming prevalence of MDR <i>K. pneumoniae</i> and aligns with global trends of rising AMR. Addressing these challenges requires targeted antimicrobial stewardship programs, infection control measures, public education, and enhanced surveillance systems. Incorporating molecular resistance testing and novel therapeutic agents in future research is crucial to developing effective containment strategies and preserving antibiotic efficacy.
