Detection of NDM Variants (blaNDM-1, blaNDM-2, blaNDM-3) from Carbapenem-Resistant Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae: First Report from Nepal

Infection and Drug Resistance, 2022
Increasing burden of carbapenem resistance among Enterobacterales is attributable to their ability to produce carbapenemase enzymes like metallo-beta-lactamase (MBL), Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC), and OXA-type. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of carbapenemases and MBL genes ((bla NDM-1, bla NDM-1 and bla NDM-3) among E.

Evolution for improved secretion and fitness may be the selective pressures leading to the emergence of two NDM alleles

, 2020
The New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM-1) mediates resistance to β-lactam antibiotics. NDM-1 was likely formed as the result of a gene fusion between sequences encoding the first six amino acids of cytoplasm-localised aminoglycosidase, AphA6, and a ...

NDM-1 Cases and Outbreaks in Turkey

Mikrobiyoloji Bulteni, 2014
We are grateful to Hatipoğlu and Turhan [Mikrobiyol Bul 2014; 48(1): 188-9] for their interest in our study published in Mikrobiyol Bul 2013; 47(2): 382-4. As Hatipoğlu and Turhan mentioned in their comment, ertapenem is more sensitive than other carbapenem antibiotics for the identification of New Delhi Metallo-beta-lactamase (NDM-1) producers among ...
