Carbapenem Resistance In Enterobacteriaceae [PDF]

Sohag Medical Journal, 2020
Carbapenem resistance is now a public health concern worldwide. Carbapenem is considered the last resort antimicrobial drug used for treatment of hospital care associated infection and community acquired infection that resistant to all other β-lactam drugs. There are a different mechanisms by which bacteria become resistant to carbapenem drug including

Mechanisms of Action of Carbapenem Resistance

Antibiotics, 2022
Carbapenem antibiotics are the most effective antimicrobials for the treatment of infections caused by the most resistant bacteria. They belong to the category of β-lactams that include the penicillins, cephalosporins, monobactams and carbapenems. This class of antimicrobials has a broader spectrum of activity than most other beta-lactams antibiotics ...

Global Distribution Patterns of Carbapenemase-Encoding Bacteria in a New Light: Clues on a Role for Ethnicity

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2021
Antibiotic resistance represents a major global concern. The rapid spread of opportunistically pathogenic carbapenemase-encoding bacteria (CEB) requires clinicians, researchers, and policy-makers to swiftly find solutions to reduce transmission rates and

Management of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae infections [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2019
Carbapenem resistance is defined as in vitro non-susceptibility to any carbapenem and/or documented production of a carbapenemase. This feature has rapidly spread worldwide among clinical isolates of Enterobacteriaceae, mostly Klebsiella spp., and is associated with diverse molecular mechanisms. Carbapenem resistance is often associated with resistance
