Structure and Biosynthesis of Mangotoxin Produced by the Plant Pathogen Pseudomonas syringae

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
The structure of mangotoxin remained elusive for over two decades. Here, mangotoxin was isolated from the native producer, Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae, and was determined to be an alkyne‐containing dipeptide. Mangotoxin inhibited the growth of multidrug‐resistant human pathogen Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Rapid Nanopore Assay for Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) is rapidly increasing worldwide in recent decades and poses a challenge for today's clinical practice. Rapid detection of CRKP can avoid inappropriate antimicrobial therapy and save lives.

Klebsiella pneumoniae: characteristics of carbapenem resistance and virulence factors

Acta Biochimica Polonica, 2015
Klebsiella pneumoniae, known as a major threat to public health, is the most common factor of nosocomial and community acquired infections. In this study, 50 K. pneumoniae clinical specimens isolated from bronchial, urea, blood, catheter, rectal, bile, tracheal and wound cultures were collected.

Molecular characterization of KPC-2–positive Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates from a neurosurgical centre in Argentina

New Microbes and New Infections, 2018
Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae is a growing concern worldwide. Klebsiella pneumoniae is an important nosocomial pathogen with a high capacity for nosocomial spread. We described the occurrence of plasmid-encoded KPC-2–harbouring K.

Add-On Therapy with Ertapenem in Infections with Multidrug Resistant Gram-Negative Bacteria: Pediatric Experience

Case Reports in Infectious Diseases, 2017
Optimal therapy for infections with carbapenem resistant GNB is not well established due to the weakness of data. Patients presenting with bloodstream infections caused by multidrug resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae were treated with a combination ...

KPC-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae, finally targeting Turkey

New Microbes and New Infections, 2014
We report here the first identification of the worldwide spread of Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase-2-producing and carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae clone ST258 in Turkey, a country where the distantly-related carbapenemase OXA-48 is known to be ...

Plasmid Dissemination and Selection of a Multidrug-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae Strain during Transplant-Associated Antibiotic Therapy

mBio, 2019
Antibiotics, which are used both to prevent and to treat infections, are a mainstay therapy for lifesaving procedures such as transplantation. For this reason, and many others, increased antibiotic resistance among human-associated pathogens, such as the

EPIDEMIOLOGY OF CARBAPENEM RESISTANT KLEBSIELLA PNEUMONIAE INFECTIONS IN MEDITERRANEAN COUNTRIES [PDF]

Mediterranean Journal of Hematology and Infectious Diseases, 2016
Infections by Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE), in particular carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKp), are a significant public health challenge worldwide. Resistance to carbapenems in enterobacteriaceae is linked to different mechanisms, in particular the production of different types of enzymes including KPC, VIM, IMP, NDM, and

Thirteen years of environmental surveillance of ESKAPE organisms and Escherichia coli in an equine hospital: Informing infection control

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Bacteria from the ESKAPE group (i.e., Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Enterobacter species) and Escherichia coli are frequently multidrug‐resistant and can be associated with healthcare‐associated infections, an increasing concern for veterinary ...
