| dc.description.abstract | Introduction. The antimicrobial resistance of Klebsiella spp.
strains poses a challenge for the management of the
infections they might induce. K. pneumoniae is responsible
for both community-acquired and healthcare-associated
infections.Purpose. This study was aimed to determine antimicrobial
susceptibility, as well as the ability to produce biofilm,
characteristic of K. pneumoniae strains isolated from trophic
ulcers.
Material and methods. Eighty-four strains of K. pneumoniae
were isolated from trophic ulcers and identified via
morphological, cultural and biochemical assessment. The
antimicrobial susceptibility and biofilm-forming ability
testing was performed using the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion
technique and the quantitative adhesion test, respectively.
Results.
Strains of K. pneumoniae isolated from trophic ulcers showed
a marked resistance to antimicrobial preparations. The
multidrug-resistant strains made up 42.8%. Moreover, 73
(86.9%) isolates exhibited biofilm-forming ability. Biofilmproducing
strains were more resistant to the tested
antibiotics compared to non-producing strains.Conclusions. Most strains of K. pneumoniae isolated from trophic ulcers showed a marked antimicrobial resistance and a high biofilm-forming capacity. | en_US |
