First report of a nonmetallocarbapenemase class A carbapenemase in an Enterobacter cloacae isolate from Colombia.
Carbapenemases are a growing concern worldwide since they threaten the efficacy of carbapenems, the most potent -lactam antibiotics. Nonmetallocarbapenemase class A (NMC-A) was identified in 1990 from a clinical isolate of Enterobacter cloacae, and since its first report in France (1), this rare enzyme has been found only in the United States (Seattle, WA, and New York, NY), Argentina, and Finl...
متن کاملComplete Sequence of a blaOXA-48-Harboring IncL Plasmid from an Enterobacter cloacae Clinical Isolate
We report a 63,584-bp conjugative IncL plasmid (pUR17313-1) from an Enterobacter cloacae clinical isolate, containing a blaOXA-48 gene. The plasmid sequence also carried important mobile genetic elements involved in the spread of antibiotic resistance, namely, the Tn1999.2 composite transposon, which enclosed blaOXA-48-, integrase-, and transposase-encoding genes.
متن کاملA Multiple Antibiotic-Resistant Enterobacter cloacae Strain Isolated from a Bioethanol Fermentation Facility
An Enterobacter cloacae strain (E. cloacae F3S3) that was collected as part of a project to assess antibiotic resistance among bacteria isolated from bioethanol fermentation facilities demonstrated high levels of resistance to antibiotics added prophylactically to bioethanol fermentors. PCR assays revealed the presence of canonical genes encoding resistance to penicillin (ampC) and erythromycin...
متن کاملOutbreak of cephalosporin resistant Enterobacter cloacae infection
Enterobacter cloacae resistant to third generation cephalosporins emerged rapidly during an outbreak of serious infections due to this organism in a neonatal intensive care unit where ampicillin and gentamicin were used as first line antibiotic treatment. Organisms resistant to cephalosporins were isolated from 12 infants, six of whom developed systemic infection. Two infants died. Isolates of ...
متن کاملClonal distribution of multidrug-resistant Enterobacter cloacae.
A multilocus sequence typing (MLST) scheme including 7 housekeeping genes was used to evaluate whether the current spread of multidrug-resistant Enterobacter cloacae isolates worldwide might be associated to specific successful clones. Fifty E. cloacae clinical isolates of worldwide origin, with various β-lactamase content, and recovered at different periods of time were studied. Forty-four seq...
