Detecting Carbapenemase Production amongst Gram Negative Isolates and its Role in Appropriate Antibiotic Selection

Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology, 2020
Multidrug resistance has been increasing world wide amongst most microrganisms, and adding to increased rate of both hospital and community acquired infections. Of all resistance mechanisms the alarming spread of carbapenemase producers is most worrisome

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.
