In this study, we analyzed the clinical distribution and drug resistance of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) strains, the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC), MIC50 and MIC90, and geographical distribution in Hebei Province, China. We aimed to provide epidemiological research data, formulate appropriate combined treatment schemes, reasonably select antibiotics, and standardize nosocomial infection control schemes.
