Carbapenem resistance in the food supply chain
Journal of Food Protection, 2023 Carbapenems are critically important antibiotic agents because they are considered the “last-resort” antibiotics for treating serious infections. However, resistance to carbapenems is increasing throughout the world and has become an urgent problem. Some

Carbapenem Resistance: A Review
Medical Sciences, 2017 Carbapenem resistance is a major and an on-going public health problem globally. It occurs mainly among Gram-negative pathogens such as Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii, and may be intrinsic or mediated by ...

The synergistic action of reduced membrane permeability and antibiotic sequestration as a novel mechanism for carbapenem resistance in Campylobacter [PDF]
mBioCarbapenems are last-resort antibiotics against gram-negative pathogens, including multidrug-resistant Campylobacter. However, carbapenem-resistant Campylobacter strains are emerging and have been isolated in patients treated with carbapenems.

First literature review of carbapenem-resistant Providencia
New Microbes and New Infections, 2018 Providencia species are Gram-negative bacteria that belong to the Enterobacteriaceae family. They have intrinsic resistance to colistin and tigecycline, which makes treatment of the multidrug-resistant strains of Providencia challenging.
