Emergence and Genomic Characterization of a Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolate From a New Clone in Brazil

Microbiology and Immunology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp) has emerged globally as a major public health concern, often associated with severe community‐acquired and healthcare‐associated human infections. Despite alerts from PAHO/WHO on convergent hvKp strains with multidrug resistance in Latin America, comprehensive data from Brazil, the region's largest ...

Altered Pathogen Spectrum of Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis in Patients Treated With Proton Pump Inhibitors

Alimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
This multicenter, observational study reveals distinct alterations in the microbial spectrum of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) associated with proton pump inhibitor use. These results are especially relevant for guiding empiric antibiotic therapy of SBP.

Phenotypic detection of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales in clinical isolates at a tertiary care hospital

Journal of Current Research in Scientific Medicine
Background: In the past decade, there has been a global emergence of carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacilli, especially Enterobacterales. Carbapenem resistance is attributed to the ability of the bacteria to produce carbapenemases.

Detection of VIM-1-producing Enterobacter cloacae and Salmonella enterica Serovars Infantis and Goldcoast at a breeding pig farm in Germany in 2017 and their molecular relationship to former VIM-1-producing S. Infantis Isolates in German livestock production [PDF]

, 2019
In 2011, VIM-1-producing Salmonella enterica serovar Infantis and Escherichia coli were isolated for the first time in four German livestock farms. In 2015/2016, highly related isolates were identified in German pig production.

Investigating bacteriophages targeting the opportunistic pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii [PDF]

, 2020
The multi-drug resistance of the opportunistic pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii is of growing concern, with many clinical isolates proving to be resistant to last resort as well as front line antibiotic treatments.

Phage Therapy: Targeting the Gut Microbiota for the Treatment of Acute Pancreatitis

Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common clinical inflammatory condition whose severity is closely associated with both local pancreatic injury and systemic complications. Research indicates that gut microbiota dysbiosis and subsequent bacterial translocation can exacerbate disease progression via the gut–pancreas axis, representing a critical ...

Network Integrative Genomic and Transcriptomic Analysis of Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae Strains Identifies Genes for Antibiotic Resistance and Virulence

mSystems, 2019
Global increases in the use of carbapenems have resulted in several strains of Gram-negative bacteria acquiring carbapenem resistance, thereby limiting treatment options. Klebsiella pneumoniae is a common carbapenem-resistant pathogenic bacterium that is

Discordant bioinformatic predictions of antimicrobial resistance from whole-genome sequencing data of bacterial isolates: an inter-laboratory study. [PDF]

, 2019
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a threat to public health. Clinical microbiology laboratories typically rely on culturing bacteria for antimicrobial-susceptibility testing (AST).
