High-level nitrofurantoin resistance in a clinical isolate of Klebsiella pneumoniae: a comparative genomics and metabolomics analysis

ABSTRACTNitrofurantoin is a commonly used chemotherapeutic agent in the treatment of uncomplicated urinary tract infections caused by the problematic multidrug resistant Gram-negative pathogen Klebsiella pneumoniae. The present study aims to elucidate the mechanism of nitrofurantoin action and high-...
