Draft genome sequence of the blaOXA-436- and blaNDM-1-harboring Shewanella putrefaciens SA70 isolate [PDF]

, 2017
We sequenced a carbapenem-resistant Shewanella putrefaciens isolate cultured from the sink handle of a Pakistan hospital room. Assembly annotation indicates that the isolate has a chromosomal bla OXA-436

Phosphonopeptides Revisited, in an Era of Increasing Antimicrobial Resistance [PDF]

, 2020
Given the increase in resistance to antibacterial agents, there is an urgent need for the development of new agents with novel modes of action. As an interim solution, it is also prudent to reinvestigate old or abandoned antibacterial compounds to assess

Paradoxical carbapenemase activity detected by modified carbapenemase inactivation (mCIM) method in Citrobacter sedlakii

Journal of Clinical Microbiology
Screening for carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales is a necessity for hospitals serving high-risk patient populations. Detection methods often incorporate the modified carbapenemase inactivation method (mCIM) test to verify carbapenemase production ...

Detecting Carbapenemase Production amongst Gram Negative Isolates and its Role in Appropriate Antibiotic Selection

Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology, 2020
Multidrug resistance has been increasing world wide amongst most microrganisms, and adding to increased rate of both hospital and community acquired infections. Of all resistance mechanisms the alarming spread of carbapenemase producers is most worrisome

In vitro activity of cefiderocol against carbapenemase-producing and meropenem-non-susceptible Gram-negative bacteria collected in the Japan Antimicrobial Resistant Bacterial Surveillance

Journal of Global Antimicrobial Resistance
Objectives: The treatment options available for infections caused by multidrug-resistant Gram-negative pathogens are often limited. Cefiderocol (CFDC) is a novel siderophore cephalosporin that exhibits activity against these pathogens.

Discordant bioinformatic predictions of antimicrobial resistance from whole-genome sequencing data of bacterial isolates: an inter-laboratory study. [PDF]

, 2019
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a threat to public health. Clinical microbiology laboratories typically rely on culturing bacteria for antimicrobial-susceptibility testing (AST).

Klebsiella pneumoniaeCarbapenemase, Canada

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2009
To the Editor: Carbapenems are used to treat life-threatening infections caused by extremely drug-resistant gram-negative pathogens; these drugs represent the last line of defense in the antimicrobial drug armamentarium against serious or invasive infection (1). The rapid global spread of Klebsiella pneumoniae that produces K. pneumoniae carbapenemase (

Predatory Bacteria: A Potential Ally against Multidrug-Resistant Gram-Negative Pathogens [PDF]

, 2013
Multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacteria have emerged as a serious threat to human and animal health. Bdellovibrio spp. and Micavibrio spp. are Gram-negative bacteria that prey on other Gram-negative bacteria.
