Molecular Characterization of Carbapenemase-Producing Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolated from Egyptian Pediatric Cancer Patients Including a Strain with a Rare Gene-Combination of β-Lactamases.

Our findings underline the dissemination of diverse clones of MDR CPKP among Egyptian pediatric cancer patients. Hence, routine molecular characterizations followed by strict implementation of infection control measures are crucial to tackling this threat.
