Item Selective digestive decontamination with oral colistin plus gentamicin for persistent bacteraemia caused by non-carbapenemase-producing carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae in a neutropenic patient(2021) Spencer-Sandino, Maria; Riquelme-Neira, Roberto; Shropshire, William C.; Dinh, An Q.; González-Rocha, Gerardo; González-Muñoz, Paulina; Vera-Leiva, Alejandra; Araos, Rafael; Hanson, Blake; Arias, Cesar A; Munita, JoséCarbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKp) have become an increasing public health problem worldwide.
