Genetic and biochemical characterization of FRI-1, a carbapenem-hydrolyzing class A β-Lactamase from Enterobacter cloacae [PDF]
An Enterobacter cloacae isolate was recovered from a rectal swab from a patient hospitalized in France with previous travel to Switzerland. It was resistant to penicillins, narrow- and broad-spectrum cephalosporins, aztreonam, and carbapenems but ...

Carbapenemase-producingKlebsiella pneumoniaeand Hematologic Malignancies
To the Editor: Until a few years ago, the most frequent microbiologically documented cause of severe bloodstream infections among patients with hematologic malignancies was gram-positive bacteria (1). However, over the years, gram-negative bacteria have become the main infectious cause of death among patients with hematologic malignancies, and rates of

There is an urgent need for accurate and fast diagnostic tests to identify carbapenemase-producing bacteria. Here, we evaluated a colorimetric imipenem hydrolysis test, called the CARBA PAcE test, to detect carbapenemase-producing Gram-negative bacteria (

Draft Genome of Shewanella frigidimarina Ag06-30, a Marine Bacterium Isolated from Potter Peninsula, King George Island, Antarctica [PDF]
We present the draft genome of Shewanella frigidimarina Ag06-30, a marine bacterium from King George Island, Antarctica,which encodes the carbapenemase SFP-1. The assembly contains 4,799,218 bp (GC content 41.24%).

The functional relationship between carbapenemase production and phenotypic resistance in Gram negative bacterial pathogens is often ill-defined. To address this issue, we developed a two-tiered Modified Hodge Test (MHT) approach for carbapenemase ...

Trends in carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae, France, 2012 to 2014. [PDF]
In 2014, a total of 2,976 Enterobacteriaceae isolates with decreased susceptibility to carbapenems were received at the French Associated National Reference Center for Antibiotic Resistance (NRC) and were characterised for their molecular resistance ...

Multi-centre evaluation of real-time multiplex PCR for detection of carbapenemase genes OXA-48, VIM, IMP, NDM and KPC [PDF]
Background: Resistance to carbapenem antibiotics is emerging worldwide among Enterobacteriaceae. To prevent hospital transmission due to unnoticed carriage of carbapenemase producing micro-organisms in newly admitted patients, or follow-up of patients in

Genomic Evolution of Two Acinetobacter baumannii Clinical Strains from ST-2 Clones Isolated in 2000 and 2010 (ST-2_clon_2000 and ST-2_clon_2010) [PDF]
Acinetobacter baumannii is a successful nosocomial pathogen due to its ability to persist in hospital environments by acquiring mobile elements such as transposons, plasmids, and phages. In this study, we compared two genomes of A.
