An Investigation of Colistin Heteroresistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolates in Iran
Background According to the World Health Organization 2024 bacterial priority pathogens list, carbapenem‐resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) were listed among the critical priority pathogens. Heteroresistance (i.e., a bacterial isolate that appears susceptible but harbors resistant subpopulations) represents a challenge in traditional laboratory testing ...

Molecular epidemiology of Acinetobacter baumannii during COVID-19 at a hospital in northern China
Background The wide spread of carbapenem-resistance clones of Acinetobacter baumannii has made it a global public problem. Some studies have shown that the prevalence of Acinetobacter baumannii clones can change over time.

A case of IMP-4-, OXA-421-, OXA-96-, and CARB-2-producing acinetobacter pittii sequence type 119 in Australia [PDF]
An IMP-4-producing Acinetobacter pittii strain coproducing oxacillinases was isolated from a leg wound of a 67-year-old female patient. Identification to the species level by rpoB and gyrB sequencing and multiplex-PCR-based analysis revealed that the ...

Molecular epidemiology of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii in New Caledonia [PDF]
Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CR-Ab) ranked third, with a frequency of 24.8%, among 202 strains of multidrug-resistant bacteria isolated from clinical samples in the main hospital of New Caledonia in 2004. All CR-Ab isolates were analysed by isoelectric focusing, conjugation, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and PCR for the presence of ...

Background Most evidence on ventilator‐associated pneumonia (VAP)–related and ventilator‐associated tracheobronchitis (VAT)–related mortality comes from general ICU settings, with limited data on critically ill cancer patients. This study aimed to characterize the microbiological profile and resistance patterns in an oncology hospital and evaluate ...
