Carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae
The continuing emergence of infections due to multidrug resistant bacteria is a serious public health problem. Klebsiella pneumoniae, which commonly acquires resistance encoded on mobile genetic elements, including ones that encode carbapenemases, is a prime example. K. pneumoniae carrying such genetic material, including both blaKPC and genes encoding metallo-β-lactamases, have spread globally...

ing responsible for nosocomial infection. Items used during the patient’s ocular surgery were confi rmed to be disposable and nonreused. Topical drops of corticosteroids commonly applied during cataract surgery for intraocular lens implantation penetrate ocular structures. An alternative hypothesis is that corticosteroids applied during ocular surgery reactivate a latent ocular infection. Our r...

b ackground : one of the main mechanisms of resistance to carbapenems is potential of klebsiella pneumoniae to produce k . pneumoniae carbapenemase (kpc). kpc is an important type of carbapenemase, which can hydrolyze carbapenems and other beta-lactam antibiotics. modified hodge test (mht) and use of boronic acid as a kpc inhibitor are two types of phenotypic methods, which are use...
متن کاملColistin heteroresistance in carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae.
Sir, Klebsiella pneumoniae is an important pathogen that causes severe and life-threatening infections. Most isolates demonstrate resistance to various antimicrobial agents. Carbapenems have been widely used to treat serious infections with multidrug-resistant K. pneumoniae. However, the increasing use of these compounds has led to the emergence of carbapenem-resistant isolates via acquired gen...

the broad spectrum of affected species, particularly raptors. A raptor was the index case in Denmark (7). Current surveillance efforts in regions free from the virus favor investigation of signifi cant death events of waterfowl and active sampling of healthy waterfowl as the means for early detection (e.g., 9). Many national surveillance programs are heavily infl uenced by the infl uenza virus ...
