Occurrence and Detection of blaKPC Producing Klebsiella pneumoniae in an Indian Tertiary Hospital

Kidney transplant recipients infected with blaKPC-2-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae.

ESBL-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae at a tertiary care hospital in Saudi Arabia.

INTRODUCTION The increasing frequency and antibiotic resistance among extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs)-producing bacteria are posing a serious threat. This study sought to investigate the frequency and antibiotic susceptibility of ESBL-producing E. coli and K. pneumoniae at a tertiary care hospital. METHODOLOGY Data were collected from samples sent to the microbiology laboratory between...

Prevalence of ESBL-Producing Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolates in Tertiary Care Hospital

Extended-spectrum β lactamases (ESBLs) continue to be a major challenge in clinical setups world over, conferring resistance to the expanded-spectrum cephalosporins. An attempt was made to study the prevalence of ESBL-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical isolates in a tertiary care hospital in Kurnool. A total of hundred collected isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae was studied for their susc...

Molecular characterization of newly emerged blaKPC-2-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae in Singapore.

In Asia, bla(KPC) detection has been limited to East Asia and not yet seen in Southeast Asia. We report four bla(KPC-2)-containing Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates from two different hospitals in Singapore. All isolates belonged to strain type 11 (ST11) and were indistinguishable by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). bla(KPC-2) was located on nonconjugative plasmids and flanked by mobile ge...
