Emergence of KPC new variants (KPC-16 and KPC-17) and ongoing outbreak in southern Taiwan [PDF]

open access: yesClinical Microbiology and Infection, 2015
We first describe two novel variants of blaKPC, blaKPC-16 and blaKPC-17, which were identified in three Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates from a patient in Taiwan.

A multidisciplinary approach to the design of novel inhibitors for KPC-2

open access: yes, 2017
Background. The emergence and dissemination of multi drug resistant (MDR) Gram-negative pathogens resistant to all available antibiotics poses a significant threat in clinical therapy. Among them, Klebsiella Pneumoniae clinical isolates overexpressing KPC-2 carbapenemase are the most worrisome, extending bacterial resistance to last resort carbapenems.

Large hospital outbreak of KPC-2-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae: investigating mortality and the impact of screening for KPC-2 with polymerase chain reaction

Journal of Hospital Infection, 2015
Multi-drug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC)-2-producing K. pneumoniae are an increasing cause of healthcare-associated infections worldwide.To investigate the impact of clinical infection on mortality, and examine the effect of use of KPC-2-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) on the time to contact isolation during an outbreak ...

Boronic acid inhibitors of the class A β-lactamase KPC-2

Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry, 2018
The rapid rise of antimicrobial resistance is one of the greatest challenges currently facing medical science. The most common cause of resistance to β-lactam antibiotics is the expression of β-lactamase enzymes, such as KPC-2. As such the development of novel inhibitors of KPC-2 and related enzymes is of the upmost importance. We report the design and

Enterobacteriaceae producing the KPC-2 carbapenemase from hospital sewage

Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease, 2012
Fifteen isolates with reduced susceptibility to meropenem were obtained from hospital sewage. They contained bla(KPC-2) and belonged to multiple clones of Citrobacter freundii or Enterobacter cloacae. bla(KPC-2) was commonly carried by self-transmissible plasmids with different EcoRI-restricted patterns. Tn2 was identified upstream of bla(KPC-2), while
