Emergence of Acinetobacter pittii Harboring New Delhi Metallo-β-Lactamase Genes in Daejeon, Korea
Carbapenemase production has been reported worldwide in gram-negative bacteria, including Acinetobacter species. We detected carbapenemase-producing Acinetobacter pittii in clinical isolates in Daejeon, Korea. Twenty-one ertapenem-resistant A. pittii isolates screened with a disk diffusion method were characterized by using the Epsilon test, four multiplex PCR assays, and a multilocus sequence ...
متن کاملDetection of co-harboring OXA-58 and NDM-1carbapenemase producing genes resided on a same plasmid from an Acinetobacter pittii clinical isolate in China
Objective(s): Acinetobacter pittii has become an emerging opportunistic noscomial pathogen worldwide with multi-drug resistance. In the present study, an A. pittii strain was isolated from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid sample harboring both OXA-58 and NDM-1carbapenemase producing genes. The mechanisms of carbapenem resistance of the A. pittii strain was investigated.Materials and Methods: Carbap...
متن کاملEmergence of NDM-1-producing Acinetobacter pittii in Brazil.
Sir, The New Delhi metallo-lactamase (NDM), initially reported in Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli, is now disseminated worldwide mostly among Enterobacteriaceae [1]. The NDM carbapenemase has also been described in Acinetobacter baumannii, but only in sporadic cases in countries such as China, India, Egypt, Germany, Israel and, more recently, Brazil [1,2]. Noteworthy, recent studies ...
متن کاملDraft genome sequence of a multidrug-resistant beta-lactamase OXA-357-producing Acinetobacter pittii ST865 clinical isolate from China
Worldwide increasing emergence of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter spp. has rendered the limited availability of effective antimicrobial agents and has become a major public health concern. In this study, we report the draft genome sequence of A. pittii TCM156, a multidrug-resistant isolate that harbored the blaOXA-357 gene. The genome sequence was further analyzed by various bioinformatics m...
متن کاملOutbreak of NDM-1-producing Acinetobacter baumannii in France, January to May 2013.
We report the first outbreak of carbapenem-resistant NDM-1-producing Acinetobacter baumannii in Europe, in a French intensive-care unit in January to May 2013. The index patient was transferred from Algeria and led to the infection/colonisation of five additional patients. Concurrently, another imported case from Algeria was identified. The seven isolates were genetically indistinguishable, bel...
