Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae in the community: a scoping review [PDF]

International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents, 2017
Carbapenem antibiotics are used as a last resort to treat serious Gram-negative bacteria (GNB) infections; however, carbapenemase-producing strains of GNB have emerged as a major source of resistance. Owing to the highly transmissible nature of plasmid-borne carbapenemases, numerous reports have warned about the likely spread into the community from ...

Frequency of and risk factors for carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae

Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2021
Introduction. Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) are an urgent threat in the USA and are associated with adverse clinical and economic outcomes. Several studies have evaluated risk factors for acquiring CRE versus carbapenem-susceptible

Correlations of Antibiotic Use and Carbapenem Resistance in Enterobacteriaceae [PDF]

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2013
ABSTRACT Epidemiological studies have shown a link between carbapenem use and resistance; however, the clinical relationship between antibiotic consumption and the epidemiology of carbapenem-intermediate or -resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CIRE) remains unclear.

Activities of imipenem-relebactam combination against carbapenem-nonsusceptible Enterobacteriaceae in Taiwan

Journal of Microbiology, Immunology and Infection, 2022
Background: Imipenem-relebactam is a new β-lactam and β-lactamase inhibitor combination to treat carbapenem-resistant gram-negative bacteria infections. However, difference in carbapenem resistant mechanisms existed with geographic variations. Objective:

Interspecies DNA acquisition by a naturally competent Acinetobacter baumannii strain [PDF]

, 2019
The human pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii possesses high genetic plasticity and frequently acquires antimicrobial resistance genes. Here we investigated the role of natural transformation in these processes. Genomic DNA from different sources, including
