Abstract
The global emergence and dissemination of carbapenem-resistant (CR)-Klebsiella pneumoniae is an important healthcare concern owing to the limited therapeutic options that are available. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the prevalence of CR K. pneumoniae in different parts of Iran. A comprehensive literature search was performed in national and international databases. After applying predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, 36 articles reporting prevalence of CR K. pneumoniae were collected. The pooled prevalence of CR K. pneumoniae was estimated to be 11.3 (95 CI: 0.084-0.15). The highest and lowest prevalence rates of CR K. pneumoniae were in Isfahan 58 (95 CI: 0.48-0.67) and Tehran 0.004 (95 CI: 0.00-0.05), respectively. The highest and lowest resistance rates were seen against aztreonam (55, 95 CI: 0.48-0.62) and amikacin (23, (95 CI: 0.17-0.29), respectively. The findings of the present study revealed that the prevalence of CR K. pneumoniae is alarmingly high in the majority of Iranian hospitals.
