Global emergence of double and multi-carbapenemase producing organisms: epidemiology, clinical significance, and evolutionary benefits on antimicrobial resistance and virulence

Microbiology Spectrum
Redundant carbapenemase-producing (RCP) bacteria, which carry double or multiple carbapenemases, represent a new and concerning phenomenon. The objective of this study is to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the epidemiology and genetic mechanisms of ...

Comparative analysis of selected methods of carbapenemase determination among clinical Klebsiella pneumoniae.

PLoS ONE
Klebsiella pneumoniae is a typical opportunistic pathogen that exhibits multiple virulence factors and antibiotic resistance conditioning mechanisms. Carbapenemases are enzymes that help bacteria to exhibit the strongest resistance against antibiotics ...

Detection of OXA-23 and OXA-58 in Proteus mirabilis by immunochromatographic assays

Microbiology Spectrum
Proteus mirabilis is increasingly recognized as a carrier of carbapenemases, which are particularly difficult to identify, since most isolates have low carbapenem MICs. Additionally, most phenotypic tests (e.g.

NitroSpeed-Carba NP Test for Rapid Detection and Differentiation between Different Classes of Carbapenemases in Enterobacterales

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2020
A biochemical test (NitroSpeed-Carba NP test) was developed to identify carbapenemase production in Enterobacterales and to discriminate between the different types of clinically significant carbapenemases (Ambler classes A, B, and D). It is based on two

Epidemiological and clinical characteristics of patients with carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales in a university hospital of Colombia: Enzyme coproductions in rise

Heliyon
The distribution of carbapenemases in Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) has recently undergone a change in our region. According to the Colombian National Institute of Health, there is an increasing prevalence of NDM and NDM-KPC co-producing ...

Global Incidence of Carbapenemase-Producing Escherichia coli ST131

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2014
We characterized Escherichia coli ST131 isolates among 116 carbapenemase-producing strains. Of isolates from 16 countries collected during 2008–2013, 35% belonged to ST131 and were associated with blaKPC, H30 lineage, and virotype C. This study documents

Carbapenemase Production of Clinical Isolates Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa from a Bulgarian University Hospital

Folia Medica, 2017
Background: Production of Bla OXA-23, OXA-24, OXA-58 and hyperexpression of OXA-51 due to ISAba1 insertion sequence are the leading causes of carbapenem resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii.
