The emerging NDM carbapenemases [PDF]

open access: yesTrends in Microbiology, 2011
Carbapenems were the last β-lactams retaining near-universal anti-Gram-negative activity, but carbapenemases are spreading, conferring resistance. New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM) enzymes are the latest carbapenemases to be recognized and since 2008 have been reported worldwide, mostly in bacteria from patients epidemiologically linked to the Indian

Current methods for the identification of carbapenemases

Journal of Chemotherapy, 2016
Detection of carbapenemases in clinical microbiology labs is a challenging issue. Comparison of the results of susceptibility testing with the breakpoint values of carbapenems is the first step in the screening of carbapenemase producers. To date, screening of carbapenemase-producing (CP) bacteria has been mostly performed by a selective medium ...

Emerging carbapenemases: a global perspective

International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents, 2010
The celestial rise in antibiotic resistance among Gram-negative bacteria has challenged both the scientific and pharmaceutical sectors. The hallmark of this general increase is the unbridled dissemination of carbapenem resistance genes, namely KPC, OXA and metallo-β-lactamase variants.

Rapid evolution and spread of carbapenemases among Enterobacteriaceae in Europe [PDF]

open access: yesClinical Microbiology and Infection, 2012
Plasmid-acquired carbapenemases in Enterobacteriaceae, which were first discovered in Europe in the 1990s, are now increasingly being identified at an alarming rate.

Structural Basis for Carbapenem-Hydrolyzing Mechanisms of Carbapenemases Conferring Antibiotic Resistance [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2015
Carbapenems (imipenem, meropenem, biapenem, ertapenem, and doripenem) are β-lactam antimicrobial agents. Because carbapenems have the broadest spectra among all β-lactams and are primarily used to treat infections by multi-resistant Gram-negative ...

Carbapenemase inhibitors

Reviews in Medical Microbiology, 2017
Carbapenemase inhibitors play a critically important role in prevention of carbapenem resistance. In the current review, based on studied articles from PubMed, Google Scholar and Scopus, we summarize the current state of carbapenemase inhibitors and their importance in clinical use.
