Evolution of an integron carrying blaVIM-2 in Eastern Europe: report from the SENTRY Antimicrobial Surveillance Program.
As part of the SENTRY Antimicrobial Surveillance Program, an imipenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain (81-11963A) was isolated from the blood culture of a female neonate institutionalized at the local children's hospital in Warsaw, Poland. Cloning of an imipenem resistance determinant revealed it to be a VIM-2 metallo-beta-lactamase, but sequence analysis of DNA adjacent to blaVIM-2 rev...
متن کاملFirst isolation of bla(VIM-2) in Latin America: report from the SENTRY Antimicrobial Surveillance Program.
Carbapenems, mainly imipenem and meropenem, are potent agents for the treatment of infections due to multiresistant Pseudomonas sp. clinical isolates. However, the prevalence of carbapenem resistance in this genus has been increasing worldwide. High-level resistance to carbapenems ( 32 g/ml) is still uncommon in Pseudomonas spp. but can be due to the presence of Ambler class B -lactamases—metal...
متن کاملAntimicrobial susceptibility testing of clinical isolates of Bordetella pertussis from northern California: report from the SENTRY Antimicrobial Surveillance Program.
Reports of an increased clinical incidence of pertussis and the development of resistance by Bordetella pertussis to erythromycin prompted the collection and testing of recent clinical isolates from patients in northern California against a range of antimicrobial agents by the Etest (AB BIODISK, Solna, Sweden) method. All isolates were fully susceptible to all eight agents tested (MIC, <or=0.38...
متن کاملEmerging metallo-beta-lactamase-mediated resistances: a summary report from the worldwide SENTRY antimicrobial surveillance program.
The rates of occurrence of metallo-beta-lactamase-mediated resistances in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter species, and Serratia marcescens, among other gram-negative bacilli, have escalated since 2000, severely limiting treatment options in Asia, Europe, and Latin America to non-beta-lactam antimicrobial classes. Clinical isolates harboring metallo-beta-lactamases have also recently been ...
