Newly Detected Transmission of blaKPC-2 by Outer Membrane Vesicles in Klebsiella Pneumoniae

Current Medical Science, 2023
The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-KP) is a global public health problem. It is mainly caused by the plasmid-carried carbapenemase gene. Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) contain toxins and other factors involved in various biological processes, including β-lactamase and antibiotic-resistance genes. This study aimed to reveal

Analysis of the molecular characteristics of a blaKPC-2-harbouring untypeable plasmid in Serratia marcescens

International Microbiology, 2021
Serratia marcescens has attracted increasing attention worldwide as a neglected opportunistic pathogen of public health concern, especially due to its antimicrobial resistance features, which usually cause nosocomial infections in immunocompromised or critically ill patients.In our study, four carbapenem-resistant Serratia marcescens (CRSM) clinical ...

Dissemination of blaKPC-2 in an NTEKPC by an IncX5 plasmid

Plasmid, 2019
blaKPC-2 is disseminated worldwide usually in Tn4401, a Tn3-family transposon, and primarily in Klebsiella pneumoniae ST258, a well-known lineage that is distributed worldwide and responsible for several outbreaks. Although occurring rarely, blaKPC-2 has been described in non-Tn4401 elements (NTEKPCs), first in China and then in a few other countries ...

Carbapenem Resistance via the blaKPC-2 Gene in Enterobacter cloacae Blood Culture Isolate

Southern Medical Journal, 2010
An Enterobacter cloacae blood culture isolate expressing carbapenem resistance via the Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase KPC-2 gene is reported. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a nosocomial isolate with carbapenemase-mediated resistance causing infection in a patient from Tennessee.

Infections With blaKPC-2-Producing Klebsiella pneumoniae in Renal Transplant Patients: A Retrospective Study

Transplantation Proceedings, 2013
In renal transplant recipients, the urinary tract is the most common site of infections that might be caused by pathogens while on immunosuppressive therapy. The spread of enterobacteria resistant to carbapenem is worrying, as it is generally used as this agent is the first-line therapy for infections caused by Enterobacteriaceae producing extended ...

Genetic plurality of blaKPC-2-harboring plasmids in high-risk clones of Klebsiella pneumoniae of environmental origin

Science of The Total Environment, 2023
International high-risk clones of Klebsiella pneumoniae are important human pathogens that are spreading to the environment. In the COVID-19 pandemic scenario, the frequency of carbapenemase-producing strains increased, which can contribute to the contamination of the environment, impacting the surrounding and associated ecosystems. In this regard, KPC-

Large-scale comparative analysis reveals phylogenomic preference of blaNDM-1 and blaKPC-2 transmission among Klebsiella pneumoniae

International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents
blaNDM-1 and blaKPC-2 are responsible for the global increase in carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae, posing a great challenge to public health. However, the impact of phylogenetic factors on the dissemination of blaNDM-1 and blaKPC-2 is not yet fully understood.
