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

open access: yesEmerging 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.

The Immaculate Carbapenemase Study [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Microbiology, 2017
Carbapenemase-producing organisms, or CPOs, are Gram-negative pathogens that produce a transmissible carbapenemase and are typically resistant to most (sometimes all) antibiotics. We now face a global CPO pandemic of high mortality. In this issue of the

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

open access: yesJournal 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

Paradoxical carbapenemase activity detected by modified carbapenemase inactivation (mCIM) method in Citrobacter sedlakii

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Microbiology
Screening for carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales is a necessity for hospitals serving high-risk patient populations. Detection methods often incorporate the modified carbapenemase inactivation method (mCIM) test to verify carbapenemase production ...

Can phenotypic methods accurately identify carbapenemase production in Morganellaceae?

open access: yesJournal of Global Antimicrobial Resistance
AIM: We aimed to evaluate and compare the performance of two chromagenic media (CM) and the carbapenem-inactivation method (CIM) in identifying carbapenemase production in the Morganellaceae members.

To Be or Not to Be an OXA-48 Carbapenemase [PDF]

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2022
Since the first description of OXA-48, more than forty variants have been recovered from Enterobacterales isolates. Whereas some OXA-48-related enzymes have been reported as conferring similar resistance patterns, namely, the hydrolysis of carbapenems and penicillins with very weak or almost no activity against expanded-spectrum cephalosporins, some ...

Class A carbapenemases [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2007
Carbapenems, such as imipenem and meropenem, are most often used to treat infections caused by enterobacteria that produce extended-spectrum beta-lactamases, and the emergence of enzymes capable of inactivating carbapenems would therefore limit the options for treatment.

Diagnostic Performance of BD Phoenix CPO Detect Panels for Detection and Classification of Carbapenemase-Producing Gram-Negative Bacteria

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum, 2023
BD Phoenix CPO Detect panels can identify and classify carbapenemase-producing organisms (CPOs) simultaneously with antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) for Gram-negative bacteria.

Carbapenemase-Producing Enterobacteriaceae [PDF]

open access: yesSeminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2015
Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) were almost nonexistent up to the 1990s, but are today encountered routinely in hospitals and other healthcare facilities in many countries including the United States. KPC-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae was the first to emerge and spread globally and is endemic in the United States, Israel, Greece, and
