Role of CTX-M-15 gene in spread of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases among immunocompetent patients in Ghana

African Journal of Laboratory Medicine, 2023
Background: Patients with faecal carriage of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL)-producing Enterobacterales serve as reservoirs and sources of dissemination and infection. Objective: This report examined immunocompetent patients for faecal carriage

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 ...

Colistin Resistance in Enterobacterales Strains – A Current View [PDF]

Polish Journal of Microbiology, 2019
Abstract Colistin is a member of cationic polypeptide antibiotics known as polymyxins. It is widely used in animal husbandry, plant cultivation, animal and human medicine and is increasingly used as one of the last available treatment options for patients with severe infections with carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacilli.

No Increased Risk of Infection Following a Protocol Change to Decrease Duration of Perioperative Antibiotic Prophylaxis in Liver Transplantation

Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
There was no increased rate of surgical site infection or bacteremia in liver transplant recipients following a decrease in perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis duration, with a change from 2.4% to 2.8% in patients hospitalized prior to transplant and 7.5% to 2.9% in other patients.

Antibiofilmogram of biofilm-producing urinary Enterobacterales

Batna Journal of Medical Sciences (BJMS), 2023
Background. The organization of uropathogens into biofilm is responsible for their escape from immune defenses and the action of antibiotics (tolerance), as well as bacterial persistence causing chronic and recurrent infections. The objectives of our work were to identify, in a panel of urinary Enterobacterales: the formation of biofilm, its ...

Infections Caused by Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacterales: Epidemiology, Clinical Significance, and Possibilities for Antibiotic Therapy Optimization

Антибиотики и Химиотерапия, 2020
The resistance of Enterobacterales to carbapenems can be realized by different mechanisms, but the most common one is enzymatic, associated with the production of carbapenemases.

Serious Bacterial Infections in Hospitalized Neonates in Eastern Ethiopia: Investigating the Emerging Pathogen Pantoea dispersa Compared With Klebsiella pneumoniae

Tropical Medicine &International Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Serious bacterial infections (SBIs) are major contributors to neonatal morbidity and mortality in low‐income countries. We describe the aetiology and risk factors for neonatal bacteraemia and in‐hospital mortality in eastern Ethiopia, focusing on Pantoea dispersa, a rarely studied pathogen, and Klebsiella pneumoniae.
