Detection of the plasmid-mediated KPC-2 carbapenem-hydrolysing enzyme in three unusual species of the Enterobacteriaceae family in Israel.
Sir, Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) pose a major threat to public health worldwide. One of the most frequently encountered mechanisms is the Ambler class A Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC)-type enzyme. Since the initial report of a KPC-producing K. pneumoniae in 2001, these organisms have spread worldwide, mainly due to the spread of a single successful clone, sequence t...
متن کاملIsolation of KPC 3-producing Enterobacter aerogenes in a patient colonized by MDR Klebsiella pneumoniae.
We describe the interspecies transmission of the plasmid-mediated blaKPC-3 gene, which confers carbapenem resistance, between clinically relevant gram-negative bacteria in a single patient. A KPC-3 producing Enterobacter aerogenes was isolated from a hospitalized patient previously colonized and then infected by a Klebsiella pneumoniae ST101 carrying the blaKPC-3 gene. The strains showed identi...
متن کاملPhysiological and molecular characteristics of carbapenem resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae and Enterobacter aerogenes.
INTRODUCTION Bacterial resistance is a growing concern in the nosocomial environment in which Klebsiella pneumoniae and Enterobacter aerogenes play an important role due to their opportunism and carbapenemase-production. This work aimed to evaluate physiological and molecular characteristics of carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae and E. aerogenes isolated in a Brazilian tertiary hospital. METH...
متن کاملEvaluation of Combined Use of Temocillin Disk and Mastdisks Inhibitor Combination Set Against Polymerase Chain Reaction for Detection of Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae
AIM To evaluate the diagnostic performance of MDI and temocillin disk (30 μg) for detection of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae in comparison to real-time PCR. MATERIAL AND METHODS Fifty specimens submitted to the Microbiology Laboratory of Ain Shams University Hospitals and showed resistance to carbapenem drugs through routine culture and susceptibility testing, were assessed by both ...
متن کاملblaKPC gene Detection in Clinical Isolates of Carbapenem Resistant Enterobacteriaceae in a Tertiary Care Hospital.
INTRODUCTION Carbapenem resistance among Enterobacteriaceae, especially in Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli, is an emerging problem worldwide. A common mechanism of carbapenem resistance is the production of class-A, Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC). AIMS AND OBJECTIVES The present study focused on determining the antibiotic resistance pattern and prevalence of bla KPC gene...
