Detection of Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae using Chromogenic Medium, ChromidID OXA-48, in Critical Care Patients of Kasr Al-Ainy Hospital in Egypt

, 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.

Community prevalence of carbapenemase-producing organisms in East London

, 2019
Background: Over the last decade there has been a rapid, worldwide increase in carbapenem resistance, which is of growing concern. The main protagonists, the carbapenemases Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC), oxacillinase β-lactamase 48 (OXA-48 ...

Carbapenemase-Encoding Gene Copy Number Estimator (CCNE): a Tool for Carbapenemase Gene Copy Number Estimation

, 2022
Carbapenemase production is one of the leading mechanisms of carbapenem resistance in Gram-negative bacteria. An increase in carbapenemase gene (blaCarb) copies is an important mechanism of carbapenem resistance.

Evaluation of the CARBA PAcE test, a colorimetric imipenem hydrolysis test for rapid detection of carbapenemase activity

Microbiology Spectrum
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 (

Genomic Epidemiology of Global Carbapenemase-Producing Enterobacter spp., 2008–2014 [PDF]

, 2018
We performed whole-genome sequencing on 170 clinical carbapenemase-producing Enterobacter spp. isolates collected globally during 2008–2014. The most common carbapenemase was VIM, followed by New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM), Klebsiella pneumoniae ...

Functional categorization of carbapenemase-mediated resistance by a combined genotyping and two-tiered Modified Hodge Test approach

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
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 ...
