Carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae [PDF]
F1000Prime Reports, 2014 The continuing emergence of infections due to multidrug resistant bacteria is a serious public health problem. Klebsiella pneumoniae, which commonly acquires resistance encoded on mobile genetic elements, including ones that encode carbapenemases, is a prime example. K. pneumoniae carrying such genetic material, including both blaKPC and genes encoding

Carbapenemases: the Versatile β-Lactamases [PDF]
Clinical Microbiology Reviews, 2007 SUMMARYCarbapenemases are β-lactamases with versatile hydrolytic capacities. They have the ability to hydrolyze penicillins, cephalosporins, monobactams, and carbapenems. Bacteria producing these β-lactamases may cause serious infections in which the carbapenemase activity renders many β-lactams ineffective.

The “hidden” carbapenemase of Aeromonas hydrophila [PDF]
Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 1996 It has been presumed that there are just two beta-lactamases in the motile Aeromonas species, a carbapenemase and a cephalosporinase, based on the premise that all beta-lactamases can be detected by hydrolysis of the chromogenic cephalosporin, nitrocefin.

The Immaculate Carbapenemase Study [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2017 ABSTRACT 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 Journal of Clinical Microbiology , Karlowsky

Detection of carbapenemase production in Enterobacteriaceae and Pseudomonas species by carbapenemase Nordmann–Poirel test [PDF]
Journal of Laboratory Physicians, 2019 Abstract PURPOSE: Multidrug-resistant organisms causing community-acquired and hospital-acquired infections are increasing at a dangerous rate. Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae and Pseudomonas species are an important source of concern since these organisms are not only resistant to beta-lactam antibiotics but also show cross ...
