Strategy for Rapid Detection of Carbapenemase-Producing Enterobacteriaceae [PDF]

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2014
ABSTRACT A prospective survey was conducted on 862 Enterobacteriaceae isolates with reduced susceptibility to carbapenems. The Carba NP test, UV spectrophotometry, and a DNA microarray were used to detect carbapenemase producers, and the results were compared to those from PCR and sequencing.

A Four-Hour Carbapenem Inactivation Method (CIMB.S) Using Bacillus stearothermophilus as Indicator Strain

Frontiers in Medicine, 2020
Objectives: There is an urgent need for accurate and fast diagnostic tests to identify carbapenemase-producing bacteria. Here we used Bacillus stearothermophilus as an indicator strain in the format of the carbapenem inactivation method (CIM) procedure ...

Detection of OXA-48-Carbapenemase-Producing Enterobacteriaceae using ChromID OXA-48 in Critical Care Patients in Egypt

Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology, 2017
Carbapenems are a class of beta-lactam antibiotics with broad spectrum of activity. They are often considered as a last resort in treatment of infections caused by multidrug resistant organisms.

Risk factors for extended-spectrum beta-lactamase- and carbapenem- resistant Enterobacteriaceae in patients with urinary tract infection from a tertiary care hospital

National Journal of Physiology, Pharmacy and Pharmacology, 2023
Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common health problem in both community and nosocomial settings. However, the predisposing factors which are responsible for production of extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) and carbapenem-resistant ...

Extended-spectrum antibodies protective against carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae [PDF]

Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2016
Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) are responsible for worldwide outbreaks and antibiotic treatments are problematic. The polysaccharide poly-(β-1,6)-N-acetyl glucosamine (PNAG) is a vaccine target detected on the surface of numerous pathogenic bacteria, including Escherichia coli.

High Colonization Rate and Heterogeneity of ESBL- and Carbapenemase-Producing Enterobacteriaceae Isolated from Gull Feces in Lisbon, Portugal

Microorganisms, 2020
In order to evaluate whether seagulls living on the Lisbon coastline, Portugal, might be colonized and consequently represent potential spreaders of multidrug-resistant bacteria, a total of 88 gull fecal samples were screened for detection of extended ...
