The emergence of multi-drug resistant (MDR) strains presents a formidable hurdle in effectively managing COVID-19 patients, as they are associated with prolonged illness, heightened morbidity rates, and an elevated likelihood of treatment failure. In this undertaking, our primary aim is to comprehensively analyze and characterize the strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Serratia marcescens that have been implicated in nosocomial outbreaks during the COVID-19 pandemic in Ecuador.
