An Xpert screen to identify carbapenemases
To prevent the spread of carbapenemases-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) active surveillance, contact isolation and cohorting infected patients should be practiced. Rectal swabs for the Xpert MDRO-assay of 32 patients were included. 71.85% were positive for targets incorporated into the MDRO-assay; whereas 28% were phenotypically not CRE and Xpert ...

Genetic support of carbapenemases in double carbapenemase producer Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated in the Arabian Peninsula [PDF]
Enterobacteriaceae co-producing NDM- and OXA-48-type carbapenemases were encountered in higher frequency in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) than in the neighboring countries in our earlier study. The aim of this investigation was to characterize the seven double carbapenemase producer Klebsiella pneumoniae found in the region to assess ...

Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae: a call for action! [PDF]
Since the beginning of this century, we have been observing increasingly rapid diffusion among Enterobacteriaceae of extended-spectrum b-lactamases (ESBLs), mostly of the CTX type and mostly in Escherichia coli [1]. This phenomenon has run out of control within just 10 years, and the outbreak is now internationally identified as being, in particular, a

ABSTRACT Antimicrobial resistance is a growing concern, especially in regions with intense agricultural production. This study investigates the presence of antimicrobial‐resistant bacteria in Caramuru, Espírito Santo state, a rural district focused on large‐scale agricultural production in Brazil. Samples of water, soil, animal faeces and environmental

Use of Ancillary Carbapenemase Tests To Improve Specificity of Phenotypic Definitions for Carbapenemase-Producing Enterobacteriaceae [PDF]
ABSTRACT Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) are a significant threat to public health. In 2015, CDC revised the surveillance definition for CPE to include all Enterobacteriaceae resistant to any carbapenem tested.

In order to evaluate whether seagulls living on the Lisbon coastline, Portugal, might be colonized and consequently represent potential spreaders of multidrug-resistant bacteria, a total of 88 gull fecal samples were screened for detection of extended ...

Recent Trends in Enzyme‐Based Biosensors for On‐Site Screening of Antibiotic Residues
Antibiotic pollution pathways and biosensor intervention for effective monitoring and control of antimicrobial resistance. Abstract Antibiotics are used to treat both humans and animals for both preventive and therapeutic purposes. The overreliance on and misuse of antibiotics has given rise to a stealth pandemic, known as antimicrobial resistance (AMR)
