Carbapenemase-Producing Enterobacteriaceae [PDF]
Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2015 Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) were almost nonexistent up to the 1990s, but are today encountered routinely in hospitals and other healthcare facilities in many countries including the United States. KPC-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae was the first to emerge and spread globally and is endemic in the United States, Israel, Greece, and

Антибиотики и Химиотерапия, 2020 The resistance of Enterobacterales to carbapenems can be realized by different mechanisms, but the most common one is enzymatic, associated with the production of carbapenemases.

Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2006 In recent years, the number of class D beta-lactamases with carbapenem-hydrolysing properties has increased substantially. Based on amino acid sequence identities, these class D or OXA-type carbapenemases are divided into eight distantly related groups, and they are only remotely related to other class D beta-lactamases.

Carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae [PDF]
F1000Prime Reports, 2014 The continuing emergence of infections due to multidrug resistant bacteria is a serious public health problem. Klebsiella pneumoniae, which commonly acquires resistance encoded on mobile genetic elements, including ones that encode carbapenemases, is a prime example. K. pneumoniae carrying such genetic material, including both blaKPC and genes encoding

Carbapenemases: the Versatile β-Lactamases [PDF]
Clinical Microbiology Reviews, 2007 SUMMARYCarbapenemases are β-lactamases with versatile hydrolytic capacities. They have the ability to hydrolyze penicillins, cephalosporins, monobactams, and carbapenems. Bacteria producing these β-lactamases may cause serious infections in which the carbapenemase activity renders many β-lactams ineffective.
