Draft Genome of Shewanella frigidimarina Ag06-30, a Marine Bacterium Isolated from Potter Peninsula, King George Island, Antarctica [PDF]

, 2016
We present the draft genome of Shewanella frigidimarina Ag06-30, a marine bacterium from King George Island, Antarctica,which encodes the carbapenemase SFP-1. The assembly contains 4,799,218 bp (GC content 41.24%).

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.

What do We Know so Far about Ges Carbapenemases, and What Threat do They Pose?

Postępy Mikrobiologii
Carbapenemases, classified as bacterial enzymes, have the ability to hydrolyze carbapenems – important broad-spectrum antibiotics. This work attempts to summarize the information on the diversity of Guiana Extended-Spectrum (GES) subgroup of ...

Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae in hospital wastewater:a reservoir that may be unrelated to clinical isolates [star] [PDF]

, 2016
Summary Background: Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) are an emerging infection control problem in hospitals worldwide. Identifying carriers can help reduce potential spread and infections.

Multiplex visual nucleic acid detection via isothermal cascaded transcription of fluorescent RNA aptamers

VIEW, EarlyView.
(1) Existing multiplex nucleic acid detection struggles to combine high sensitivity, visual readout, and instrument‐free use, which is vital for rapid infection and antibiotic resistance diagnosis. (2) We developed MAGIC, integrating isothermal cascaded amplification and fluorescent RNA aptamer transcription, achieving 10 aM sensitivity, 100% accuracy ...

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 ...

The in vitro activity of aztreonam-avibactam and cefiderocol against globally collected clinical metallo-β-lactamase- and/or serine-carbapenemase-positive Enterobacterales isolates and the utility of commonly used in vitro diagnostic kits

Microbiology Spectrum
The NG-test CARBA 5 and Xpert Carba-R IVD kits were tested against 269 clinical Enterobacterales isolates selected for their previously determined carbapenemase content from the ATLAS Global Surveillance program, primarily from 2020 to 2022 ...

Draft genome sequence of the blaOXA-436- and blaNDM-1-harboring Shewanella putrefaciens SA70 isolate [PDF]

, 2017
We sequenced a carbapenem-resistant Shewanella putrefaciens isolate cultured from the sink handle of a Pakistan hospital room. Assembly annotation indicates that the isolate has a chromosomal bla OXA-436

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 ...
