ABSTRACT:
Introduction: Klebsiella pneumoniae is a Gram-negative bacillus of great clinical relevance, frequently associated with serious nosocomial infections. Commonly present in the human intestinal microbiota, this species has been highlighted in the context of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) due to its high capacity to develop resistance to multiple antimicrobials. According to the 2021 Patient Safety and Quality in Healthcare Services Bulletin, published by the Ministry of Health, K. pneumoniae is the fermenting Gram-negative bacterium with the highest resistance rates in Brazil [1]. This resistance can occur through spontaneous mutations or the acquisition of resistance genes [2], often intensified by the indiscriminate use of antimicrobials [3]. Objective: To analyze the phenotypic profile of antimicrobial resistance and sensitivity in clinical isolates of K. pneumoniae from a hospital in Recife, Pernambuco.
