Molecular study of carbapenemase genes in clinical isolates of Enterobacteriaceae resistant to carbapenems and determining their clonal relationship using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis.

CONCLUSIONS: Our results could reflect some hospital multidrug-resistant strains in nosocomial infections. The widespread emergence of carbapenem-resistant isolates has caused increasing concern in recent years. Therefore, specific strategies should be designed and evaluated for the control of resistant strains.
