Carbapenemase-encoding genes in critical gram-negative bacteria isolated from ICU patients with infections and/or gastrointestinal carriage, and environmental samples in the amhara National Regional state, Ethiopia. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
Effective infection control requires identifying and eliminating carbapenemase-producing (CP) Gram-negative bacteria (GNB) in high-risk groups like intensive care unit (ICU) patients and from contaminated environmental surfaces.

Environmental Dissemination of Multidrug-Resistant Gram-Negative Pathogens in Djibouti's Wastewaters. [PDF]

Public Health Chall
ABSTRACT Background The occurrence of multidrug‐resistant (MDR) Enterobacteriaceae‐producing extended‐spectrum β‐lactamases (ESBLs) and/or carbapenemases is increasingly reported in clinical and environmental settings. Here, we aimed to investigate the resistance profile of gram‐negative bacterial isolates from urban and environmental wastewater in ...

Phenotypic and molecular detection of carbapenemase producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae [PDF]

Microbes and Infectious Diseases, 2023
Background:Detection of carbapenemases properly and rapidly is vital in the fight against the emergence and spread of carbapenem resistant bacteria. This study was carried out to phenotypically and molecularly detect carbapenemase producing Escherichia ...

Directed carbapenemase testing is no longer just for Enterobacterales: cost, labor, and workflow assessment of expanding carbapenemase testing to carbapenem-resistant P. aeruginosa

Emerging Microbes and Infections, 2023
Molecular carbapenem-resistance testing, such as for the presence of carbapenemases genes, is commonly implemented for the detection of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales. Carbapenemase-producing P.

Detection of blaKPC and blaNDM carbapenemase genes among Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia: Dominance of blaNDM.

PLoS ONE, 2022
BackgroundInfections caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae have been difficult to control because of the worldwide emergence of carbapenem-resistant isolates mainly due to carbapenemase production. Information regarding carbapenemase-producing K. pneumoniae is

Carbapenemase genes and mortality in patients with carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales, Atlanta, Georgia, 2011–2020

Antimicrobial Stewardship & Healthcare Epidemiology, 2023
Background: Carbapenemase genes in carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CP-CRE) may be transmitted between patients and bacteria. Reported rates of carbapenemase genes vary widely, and it is unclear whether having a carbapenemase gene portends worse ...

Development of a Two Triplex Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction for Rapid Detection of Six Carbapenemase Genes in Enterobacteriaceae [PDF]

Osong Public Health and Research Perspectives, 2020
Objectives Carbapenem resistance is a serious clinical and public health threat. Carbapenemase can confer carbapenem resistance, and most carbapenemase genes are plasmid encoded so resistance can easily spread.
