Reducing dissemination of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae [PDF]
Besides being resistant to several β-lactams, carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) are often resistant to other widely used antimicrobials such as fluoroquinolones and cotrimoxazole, and sometimes to aminoglycosides (1,2). Although possibly not the only reason, the increased risk of delayed/suboptimal treatment consequent to the multidrug ...

Heteroresistance to Amikacin in Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae Strains [PDF]
Heteroresistance can lead to treatment failure and is difficult to detect by the methods currently employed by clinical laboratories. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of the amikacin-heteroresistant Klebsiella pneumoniae strains and explore potential amikacin heteroresistance mechanism through whole-genome sequencing (WGS) and ...

A Comprehensive Study of Phenotypic and Genotypic Techniques to Detect Metallo-β-lactamases in Carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (KP) Strains Derived through Numerous Clinical Specimens in Advanced Health care Facilities [PDF]
In recent years, an increase in Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae resistant to carbapenem was reported globally. Due to their high prevalence and extensive range of medical conditions, Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae are both ...

Polyphasic characterization of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical isolates suggests vertical transmission of the blaKPC-3 gene [PDF]
Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae are a major global threat in healthcare facilities. The propagation of carbapenem resistance determinants can occur through vertical transmission, with genetic elements being transmitted by the host bacterium ...

The Metabolome of Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae Infection in Plasma
Aim. Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae- (CR-Kp-) mediated infections represent a challenge for clinical practitioners due to their expanding prevalence in hospital environments and antibiotic resistance. However, few studies have shown metabolic changes of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae and CR-Kp-negative patients, and relevant ...
