Antimicrobial Resistance: Carbapenemases-producing bacteria in livestock

, 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.

Duplex Recombinase Polymerase Amplification‐Lateral Flow Assay for Rapid Visual Detection of Critical Antibiotic Resistance Genes in Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae From Positive Blood Cultures

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
This study developed a pair of duplex RPA‐LFA assays for the simultaneous detection of critical resistance genes, blaCTX‐M/mcr‐1 and blaoxa‐48‐like/blaNDM, from hemoculture samples. Under optimized conditions, duplex RPA was performed at 37°C–38°C for 25 min, followed by LFA for 10–15 min.

On‐site pilot‐scale advanced oxidation pretreatment of hospital wastewater: assessment of pharmaceuticals, pathogens, antibiotic resistance genes and acute ecotoxicity

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Hospital premises generate wastewater containing a wide spectrum of contaminants, such as pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs), antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and pathogenic microorganisms, whilst plenty of them are classified under the antibiotic resistant bacteria (ΑRΒ) category.

Carbapenemases: Partners in crime

Journal of Global Antimicrobial Resistance, 2013
Carbapenemases, β-lactamases that inactivate carbapenems and most β-lactam antibiotics, are most widely known for their ability to confer resistance to β-lactams. They include serine carbapenemases, such as the widespread KPC family of enzymes, and the metallo-β-lactamases that contain the IMP, NDM and VIM enzyme families acquired by Gram-negative ...

Detecting Antibiotic Resistance in Strains of Selected Gram‐Negative Bacterial Species Using Raman Spectroscopy

Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.
Raman spectroscopy successfully identified antibiotic‐resistant Gram‐negative strains. Resistant strains of four bacterial species were discriminated from sensitive ones with 99.1% accuracy using PLS regression. The method allows for rapid, label‐free detection of antibiotic resistance.

Genetic support of carbapenemases in double carbapenemase producer Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated in the Arabian Peninsula [PDF]

Acta Microbiologica et Immunologica Hungarica, 2018
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 ...

Isolation of carbapenem‐resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa and other Gram‐negative ESKAPE organisms from samples of raw‐meat diets for dogs in the UK

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Gram‐negative ESKAPE organisms are an emerging threat in veterinary medicine that also have zoonotic potential. However, little is known about the prevalence and risks of these organisms in pet food. We present the incidental finding of gram‐negative ESKAPE organisms within samples of raw meat diets for dogs in the United Kingdom ...

Proposed Meropenem Breakpoints for Interpretation of Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing of Bacteria Isolated From Dogs

Journal of Veterinary Pharmacology and Therapeutics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Meropenem is a carbapenem antibiotic used infrequently in veterinary medicine. However, antimicrobial susceptibility testing standards are needed to monitor for resistance caused by carbapenem resistant Enterobacterales (CRE). The Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) does not have veterinary‐specific carbapenem breakpoints for ...
