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.

Antimicrobial Resistance: Carbapenemases-producing bacteria in livestock [PDF]
, 2016 Carbapenems are antibiotics authorised for the treatment of humans and categorised by the World Health Organisation as critically important antimicrobials. Antibiotics of this kind should only be administered when there are strict indications, i.e.

The “hidden” carbapenemase of Aeromonas hydrophila [PDF]
Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 1996 It has been presumed that there are just two beta-lactamases in the motile Aeromonas species, a carbapenemase and a cephalosporinase, based on the premise that all beta-lactamases can be detected by hydrolysis of the chromogenic cephalosporin, nitrocefin.
