A case–control study of infections caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae producing New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase-1: Predictors and outcomes

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022
IntroductionInfections caused by antimicrobial-resistant bacteria are a significant cause of death worldwide, and carbapenemase-producing bacteria are the principal agents.

Determination of MIC and Disk Diffusion Quality Control Guidelines for Meropenem–Vaborbactam, a Novel Carbapenem/Boronic Acid β-Lactamase Inhibitor Combination [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Meropenem–vaborbactam is a carbapenem/cyclic boronic acid β-lactamase inhibitor combination primarily active against Gram-negative bacilli, including those harboring class A serine carbapenemases such as Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC).

Draft Genome Sequences of Four NDM-1-Producing Klebsiella pneumoniae Strains from a Health Care Facility in Northern California. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We report the draft genome sequences of Klebsiella pneumoniae strains from four patients at a northern California health care facility. All strains contained the New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM1) carbapenemase with extended antibiotic resistance ...

Evaluation of FilmArray Multiplex PCR Test Results in Bloodstream Infections in Oncological Patients

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
In this study conducted at an oncology hospital, BCID2 panel results for the rapid identification of microorganisms and resistance genes in positive blood culture samples were compared with conventional culture methods. The BCID2 panel provided faster results and showed a high correlation with traditional methods.

Confronting Carbapenemase-Producing Klebsiella Pneumoniae

open access: yesFuture Microbiology, 2013
The ongoing spread of carbapenemase-producing (CP) multidrug-resistant enterobacteria, primarily Klebsiella pneumoniae, has undoubtedly caused a public health crisis of unprecedented dimensions. The scientific community has been struggling with these highly problematic nosocomial pathogens for more than a decade.

Resistance and virulence features of hypermucoviscous Klebsiella pneumoniae from bloodstream infections: Results of a nationwide Italian surveillance study

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Among Enterobacterales, Klebsiella pneumoniae (Kp) is one of the major opportunistic pathogens causing hospital-acquired infections. The most problematic phenomenon linked to Kp is related to the dissemination of multi-drug resistant (MDR) clones ...

Horizontal transfer of antibiotic resistance genes on abiotic touch surfaces: implications for public health

open access: yes, 2012
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is largely responsible for increasing incidence of antibiotic-resistant infections worldwide. Whilst studies have focussed on HGT in vivo, this work investigates whether the ability of pathogens to persist in the ...

Multi-centre evaluation of real-time multiplex PCR for detection of carbapenemase genes OXA-48, VIM, IMP, NDM and KPC [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Background: Resistance to carbapenem antibiotics is emerging worldwide among Enterobacteriaceae. To prevent hospital transmission due to unnoticed carriage of carbapenemase producing micro-organisms in newly admitted patients, or follow-up of patients in

Genomic Insights Into Carbapenem‐Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae in Pediatric Bloodstream Infections in Zhejiang, China (2019–2024)

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
The primary mechanism of carbapenem resistance identified in pediatric CRKP‐BSI strains was the production of Class B metalloenzymes. We report, for the first time, an outbreak of bloodstream infections in a neonatal ward caused by the dissemination of NDM‐1‐producing ST25 K. pneumoniae.
