Abstract
The article "Imipenem-resistance in Serratia marcescens is mediated by plasmid expression of KPC-2", by W.-Q. Su, Y.-Q. Zhu, N.-M. Deng, L. Li, published in Eur Rev Med Pharmacol Sci 2017; 21 (7): 1690- 1694-PMID: 28429335 has been retracted by the Editor in Chief. Following some concerns raised on PubPeer (link: https://pubpeer.com/publications/F7E91E2863540C7CB030B86E16917F), the Editor in Chief has started an investigation to assess the validity of the results as well as possible figure and data manipulation. The authors were informed about the journal's investigation but have remained unresponsive and have not provided the manuscript's raw data. Therefore, the validity of the overall results could not be verified. The journal's investigation revealed that Figures 2 and 3 have been computer-generated. Additionally, Figure 1 was duplicated from a previously published article. Moreover, several terminology inaccuracies were identified within the manuscript. Consequently, the Editor in Chief mistrusts the results presented and has decided to retract the article. This article has been retracted. The Publisher apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause. https://www.europeanreview.org/article/12540.
