Bloodstream Infection Caused by Carbapenemase‐Producing Enterobacterales in a Tertiary Hospital of Colombia: A 6 Year Retrospective Study

Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background The global spread of carbapenemase‐producing Enterobacterales (CPE) has emerged as a significant public health challenge. However, epidemiological studies on CPE infections in Latin America remain scarce. This study aims to characterize bloodstream infections (BSIs) caused by CPE at a tertiary hospital over a 6‐year period and analyze the ...

A Study on Ceftazidime/Avibactam and Aztreonam Synergy Among Aztreonam-resistant Metallo-β-lactamase Producing Enterobacterales in a Tertiary Care Hospital

Mediterranean Journal of Infection, Microbes and Antimicrobials
Introduction: Global detection of bacteria harboring metallo-β-lactamase (MBL) genes has increased at an alarming rate. However, there is no concurrent increase in available antibiotics for treatment, which has turned these infections into a public ...

Multidrug resistant (or antimicrobial-resistant) pathogens - alternatives to new antibiotics? [PDF]

, 2017
For the last few decades, multidrug resistance has become an increasing concern for both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The number of new molecules has dramatically decreased and antibiotic resistance is now a priority in the international ...

Clinical Epidemiological Analysis of the Genotypic Spectrum and Mortality Risk in Carbapenem‐Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) Infections

Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Carbapenem‐resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) has become a global public health threat, with significantly increased morbidity and mortality among high‐risk inpatients. High‐risk genotypes of CRKP, primarily including K. pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC), oxacillinase‐48–like (OXA‐48–like), New Delhi metallo‐β‐lactamase (NDM), imipenemase ...

In vitro and in vivo bactericidal activity of ceftazidime-avibactam against Carbapenemase–producing Klebsiella pneumoniae

Antimicrobial Resistance and Infection Control, 2018
Background In recent years, the incidence of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) infections has increased rapidly. Since the CRE strain is usually resistant to most of antimicrobial agents, patients with this infection are often accompanied by ...

Ceftazidime-avibactam susceptibility against Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae

Iranian Journal of Microbiology
Background and Objectives: Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) infections are extremely difficult to treat and have a high fatality rate. The study's primary goal was to determine the rate of ceftazidime-avibactam susceptibility using disc diffusion and E-Test, as well as to evaluate the agreement between the two methods.

Distribution and Drug‐Resistance Analysis of Uropathogens in Urinary Tract Infections

Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a major global health concern with increasing antimicrobial resistance. Regional data on pathogen distribution and resistance patterns are essential for guiding empirical therapy. This study aimed to investigate the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profiles of UTI pathogens in Shanghai, China, and

Evaluation of a simple method for testing aztreonam and ceftazidime-avibactam synergy in New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase producing Enterobacterales.

PLoS ONE
NDM-producing carbapenem-resistant bacterial infections became a challenge for clinicians. Combination therapy of aztreonam and ceftazidime-avibactam is a prudent choice for these infections.

Role of cephalosporins in the era of Clostridium difficile infection [PDF]

, 2016
The incidence of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) in Europe has increased markedly since 2000. Previous meta-analyses have suggested a strong association between cephalosporin use and CDI, and many national programmes on CDI control have focused on ...
