Global emergence of double and multi-carbapenemase producing organisms: epidemiology, clinical significance, and evolutionary benefits on antimicrobial resistance and virulence

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum
Redundant carbapenemase-producing (RCP) bacteria, which carry double or multiple carbapenemases, represent a new and concerning phenomenon. The objective of this study is to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the epidemiology and genetic mechanisms of ...

Infection Complications in Pediatric Patients With Inborn Errors of Immunity After Umbilical Cord Blood Transplantation: A Chinese Single‐Center Study

open access: yesTransplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
This study reveals that infections are highly prevalent in pediatric IEI patients after umbilical cord blood transplantation, with early‐stage infections and bloodstream infections strongly associated with poorer survival. These findings advocate for risk‐stratified surveillance and preemptive strategies in high‐risk subgroups.

Epidemiology and Genetic Traits of Carbapenemase-Producing Enterobacterales: A Global Threat to Human Health

open access: yesAntibiotics
Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) represent an important threat to global health, resulting in an urgent issue in clinical settings. CPE often exhibit a multidrug-resistant (MDR) phenotype, thus reducing the antimicrobial armamentarium, with

Intra- and Extra-Hospital Dissemination of IMP-22-Producing Klebsiella pneumoniae in Northern Portugal: The Breach of the Hospital Frontier Toward the Community

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2021
The emergence of infections (and colonization) with Enterobacteriaceae-producing carbapenemases is a threatening public health problem. In the last decades, we watched an isolated case becoming a brutal outbreak, a sporadic description becoming an ...

Clonal diversity of Acinetobacter baumannii from diabetic patients in Saudi Arabian hospitals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CR-AB) represents a major health-care problem causing high rates of morbidity and mortality. This study investigated the clonality of CR-AB isolated from diabetic patients from different regions in Saudi ...

Gut Microbiota as a Key Modulator in the Pathophysiology of Sepsis: SURVEIL Project

open access: yesMicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
Longitudinal profiling of 132 hospitalized patients reveals that age, colonization status, and sepsis interact to shape gut microbiota diversity and composition. Sepsis is associated with reduced alpha diversity, beta‐diversity shifts, functional predictions (methanogenesis, nitrate/sulfate respiration), and partial MDR overlap with bloodstream ...

Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae in transplant patients

open access: yesJournal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2021
Abstract Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) are a serious public health concern and represent a major threat to immunocompromised hosts, including solid organ (SOT) and stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients. Transplant patients are at particular risk of developing CPE colonization and/or infection due to their frequent ...

Detection of rare carbapenemases in Enterobacterales—comparison of two colorimetric and three CIM-based carbapenemase assays

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum
Rapid and reliable detection of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) is crucial for prompt treatment and infection control. Most assays target the primary four enzymes (KPC, OXA-48-like, VIM, and NDM), often missing less common variants (e.g ...

Phage Therapy as an Alternative Strategy Against Pseudomonas aeruginosa: A Narrative Review of Preclinical and Clinical Evidence

open access: yesMicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
Phage therapy shows promising efficacy against MDR, XDR, and PDR Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections across different models and administration routes. Evidence highlights reduced mortality, bacterial clearance, and synergy with antibiotics, while emphasizing the need for standardized protocols and advanced delivery systems to support clinical ...

Comparative analysis of selected methods of carbapenemase determination among clinical Klebsiella pneumoniae.

open access: yesPLoS ONE
Klebsiella pneumoniae is a typical opportunistic pathogen that exhibits multiple virulence factors and antibiotic resistance conditioning mechanisms. Carbapenemases are enzymes that help bacteria to exhibit the strongest resistance against antibiotics ...
