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 ...

"Practical Knowledge" and Perceptions of Antibiotics and Antibiotic Resistance Among Drugsellers in Tanzanian Private Drugstores. [PDF]

, 2010
Studies indicate that antibiotics are sold against regulation and without prescription in private drugstores in rural Tanzania. The objective of the study was to explore and describe antibiotics sale and dispensing practices and link it to drugseller ...

Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae Exhibiting Clinically Undetected Colistin Heteroresistance Leads to Treatment Failure in a Murine Model of Infection

mBio, 2018
Antibiotic resistance is a growing crisis and a grave threat to human health. It is projected that antibiotic-resistant infections will lead to 10 million annual deaths worldwide by the year 2050.

Antibiotic Resistance of Bacteria [PDF]

BioMed Research International, 2015
Antibiotic resistance of bacteria and other microorganisms is one of the most serious and grievous challenges of the twenty-first century. The life-saving drugs, which held a great deal of promises during the 1940s to eradicate all the infectious life-threatening diseases in the world, have ceased to work, because of the increasing emergence of ...

Discovery of the fourth mobile sulfonamide resistance gene

Microbiome, 2017
Background Over the past 75 years, human pathogens have acquired antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), often from environmental bacteria. Integrons play a major role in the acquisition of antibiotic resistance genes.
