Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.This study evaluated the antimicrobial susceptibility profile of Escherichia coli isolated from artisanal colonial cheese from Brazil. Sixty percent of the isolates showed resistance to at least one antimicrobial, no ESBL was found, genes blaTEM and tetB were found simultaneously in four isolates.

Carbapenemases: Partners in crime
Journal of Global Antimicrobial Resistance, 2013 Carbapenemases, β-lactamases that inactivate carbapenems and most β-lactam antibiotics, are most widely known for their ability to confer resistance to β-lactams. They include serine carbapenemases, such as the widespread KPC family of enzymes, and the metallo-β-lactamases that contain the IMP, NDM and VIM enzyme families acquired by Gram-negative ...

Evaluation of a modified meropenem hydrolysis assay on a large cohort of KPC and VIM carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) have spread globally and represent a serious and growing threat to public health. The introduction of rapid and sensitive methods for the detection of carbapenemase-producing bacteria is of increasing ...

Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2023 Introduction: The World Health Organization (WHO) designated Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE), formerly Enterobacteriaceae, among the global priority list of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The rate of CRE in Arabian countries, including Saudi

iMeta, EarlyView.The global emergence of hypervirulent, carbapenem‐resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvCRKP) poses a paradox: why do such dangerous clones remain geographically confined? By analyzing over 2500 CC23 genomes across 90 years, we uncover a core evolutionary constraint—virulence and resistance rarely coexist without trade‐offs. Potent carbapenemases (blaKPC,

Carbapenemases in Enterobacteriaceae: Detection and Antimicrobial Therapy [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) have spread rapidly around the world in the past few years, posing great challenges to human health. The plasmid-mediated horizontal transmission of carbapenem-resistance genes is the main cause of the surge in the prevalence of CRE.

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.This study investigates the prevalence of multidrug‐resistant Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae in South Lebanon's Saida region, focusing on ESBL and carbapenemase production. Results showed a high prevalence of ESBL producers (89.5%) and a lower rate of carbapenemase producers (10.5%), with blaCTX‐M being the most common ESBL gene.

Prevalence of Carbapenemases in Acinetobacter baumannii [PDF]
, 2012 Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii) is an important opportunistic pathogen and causes a variety of nosocominal infections especially in Intensive Care Units (ICU’s) (BergogneBerezin & Towner, 1996; Villegas & Harstein, 2003). These infections include bacteraemia, surgical-site infections, secondary meningitis, urinary tract infections and ventilator

Novel nanoparticle‐mediated plasmid delivery in bacteria for difficult applications
Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, EarlyView.Abstract BACKGROUND This study presents the development and application of magnetite/silver‐pDMAEMA‐PEG‐BUFII nanobioconjugates as an advanced plasmid delivery system in bacteria. These nanobioconjugates demonstrated superior efficiency compared to traditional methods in four challenging applications: (i) genomic editing in Gram‐positive bacteria; (ii)

Structural and Functional Aspects of Class A Carbapenemases [PDF]
Current Drug Targets, 2016 The fight against infectious diseases is probably one of the greatest public health challenges faced by our society, especially with the emergence of carbapenem-resistant gram-negatives that are in some cases pan-drug resistant. Currently,β-lactamase-mediated resistance does not spare even the newest and most powerful β-lactams (carbapenems), whose ...
