Active surveillance for carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) carriage

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
ABSTRACT Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) poses a significant threat in healthcare settings, necessitating robust infection control measures. To identify the most effective sampling method for CRAB carriage detection, we conducted a comparative analysis between skin sampling using a pre ...

Cefiderocol and Sulbactam-Durlobactam against Carbapenem-Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii

Antibiotics, 2023
Infections caused by carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) remain a clinical challenge due to limited treatment options. Recently, cefiderocol, a novel siderophore cephalosporin, and sulbactam-durlobactam, a bactericidal β-lactam–β-lactamase inhibitor combination, have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of

Validation of Hexaplex Recombinase Polymerase Amplification Assay for the Detection of Carbapenemase Genes in Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolates From Pediatric Inpatients

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
A novel hexaplex recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) method was developed to rapidly and accurately detect five key carbapenemase genes and a Klebsiella pneumoniae‐specific target in a single reaction. This makes it an effective tool for CRKP detection in resource‐constrained environments.
