Phenotypic detection and molecular characterization of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae at a tertiary care center

Journal of Marine Medical Society, 2022
Background: Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) is of utmost clinical importance because they challenge the armamentarium of the treating clinicians, hampering current treatment strategies.

Carbapenemase-Producing Enterobacteriaceae in Spain in 2012 [PDF]

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2013
ABSTRACT We report the epidemiological impact of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) in Spain in 2012. Of the 237 carbapenemases detected, 163 were from the OXA-48 group, 60 were from VIM-1, 8 were from KPC-2, 5 were from IMP, and 1 was from NDM-1.

The global epidemiology of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae [PDF]

Virulence, 2016
Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) are an important and increasing threat to global health. Both clonal spread and plasmid-mediated transmission contribute to the ongoing rise in incidence of these bacteria. Among the 4 classes of β-lactamases defined by the Ambler classification system, the carbapenemases that confer carbapenem ...

Treating infections caused by carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2014
Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) have spread worldwide, causing serious infections with increasing frequency. CPE are resistant to almost all available antibiotics, complicating therapy and limiting treatment options. Mortality rates associated with CPE infections are unacceptably high, indicating that the current therapeutic approaches

Colonization with extended spectrum beta-lactamase and carbapenemases producing Enterobacteriaceae among hospitalized patients at the global level: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

PLoS ONE, 2023
BackgroundGut commensal bacteria can mediate resistance against pathogenic bacteria. However, exposure to antibiotics and hospitalization may facilitate the emergence of multidrug resistant bacteria.

The Rapid Carbapenemase Detection Method (rCDM) for Rapid and Accurate Detection of Carbapenemase-Producing Enterobacteriaceae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2019
This study aimed to design a new method for rapid and accurate detection of carbapenemase phenotypes based on the simplified carbapenem inactivation method (sCIM). We evaluated the sensitivity and specificity of the method, called the rapid carbapenemase

Usefulness of Xpert® Carba-R on enrichment broth for the early detection of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2021
: Early detection of patients colonized with carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales is crucial to limit their spread. Molecular biology tests are rapid but might miss low-level carriage.

Phenotypic and genotypic distribution of ESBL, AmpC β-lactamase and carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae in community-acquired and hospital-acquired urinary tract infections in Sri Lanka

Journal of Global Antimicrobial Resistance, 2022
: Objectives: Although Sri Lanka belongs to a region with a high prevalence of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL), AmpC β-lactamase and carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae, data regarding antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is limited.
