Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae isolates collected in Portuguese hospitals [PDF]

, 2012
Objectives: In Portugal, little is known on carbapenemase (CARB)-producing Enterobacteriaceae. The aim of this study was to identify the resistance mechanisms of Enterobacteriaceae isolates, identified at hospital laboratories as carbapenem (CA) non ...

Sewage effluent from an Indian hospital harbors novel carbapenemases and integron-borne antibiotic resistance genes

Microbiome, 2019
Background Hospital wastewaters contain fecal material from a large number of individuals, of which many are undergoing antibiotic therapy. It is, thus, plausible that hospital wastewaters could provide opportunities to find novel carbapenemases and ...

OXA-900, a Novel OXA Sub-Family Carbapenemase Identified in Citrobacter freundii, Evades Detection by Commercial Molecular Diagnostics Tests

Microorganisms, 2021
Using whole-genome sequencing and cloning of the target gene, we identified blaOXA-900 carbapenemase, a novel blaOXA belonging to a distant and distinct sub-family of blaOXA-48-like. The plasmid-mediated gene was identified in a C.

Occurrence, Typing, and Resistance Genes of ESBL/AmpC-Producing Enterobacterales in Fresh Vegetables Purchased in Central Israel

Antibiotics, 2023
Beta-lactam resistance can lead to increased mortality, higher healthcare expenses, and limited therapeutic options. The primary mechanism of beta-lactam resistance is the production of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) and AmpC beta-lactamases ...
