Acquired bla_VIM and bla_GES Carbapenemase-Encoding Genes in Pseudomonas aeruginosa: A Seven-Year Survey Highlighting an Increasing Epidemiological Threat

Pathogens, 2023
(1) Background: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Gram-negative bacterium with several intrinsic and acquired antimicrobial resistance mechanisms. The spread of carbapenemase-encoding genes, an acquired mechanism, enables carbapenem resistance in clinical ...

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

Carbapenemase-Producing Organisms: A Global Scourge [PDF]

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2017
The dramatic increase in the prevalence and clinical impact of infections caused by bacteria producing carbapenemases is a global health concern. Carbapenemase production is especially problematic when encountered in members of the family Enterobacteriaceae.

Difference in Susceptibility Between Carbapenemase- and Non–Carbapenemase-Producing Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae [PDF]

Antimicrobial Stewardship & Healthcare Epidemiology, 2021
Background: Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) remain among the most urgent infectious threats according to the CDC Threats Reports. Although focus has often been placed on carbapenemase-producing phenotypes, there is increasing interest in distinguishing the optimal treatment and outcomes of carbapenemase-producing (CP) and non ...

Carbapenemases

, 2019
Carbapenems are usually regarded as the last treatment option for serious infections caused by Gram-negative and Gram-positive microorganisms. Although they are stable to hydrolysis by most β- lactamases, their usage as the last resort antbiotics was seriously compromised by the appearance of carbapenem-hydrolyzing enzymes called carbapenemases.

Spatiotemporal and genomic analysis of carbapenem resistance elements in Enterobacterales from hospital inpatients and natural water ecosystems of an Irish city

Microbiology Spectrum
Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) is a diverse group of often multidrug-resistant organisms. Surveillance and control of infections are complicated due to the inter-species spread of carbapenemase-encoding genes (CEGs) on mobile genetic ...

In vitro activity of ceftazidime–avibactam and comparators against Gram-negative bacterial isolates collected in the Asia–Pacific region as part of the INFORM program (2015–2017)

Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials, 2020
Background Antimicrobial resistance among nosocomial Gram-negative pathogens is a cause for concern in the Asia–Pacific region. The aims of this study were to measure the rates of resistance among clinical isolates collected in Asia–Pacific countries ...

The Evaluation of Machine Learning Models Using Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) Spectra for the Prediction of Antibiotic Resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae. [PDF]

Microbiologyopen
Machine learning models developed from matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry spectra can rapidly predict antimicrobial resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae. By transforming routine spectral data into accurate resistance profiles within minutes, this approach could reduce diagnostic delays and support earlier ...
