THE FREQUENCY OF TEM, SHV, AND OXA GENES AMONG EXTENDED-SPECTRUM BETA-LACTAMASE PRODUCING KLEBSIELLA PNEUMONIAE AND ESCHERICHIA COLI OBTAINED FROM KIDNEY TRANSPLANT PATIENTS
Background & Aims: Considering the importance of drug resistance among pathogenic bacteria and their treatment problems, this study aimed to determine the prevalence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs), including TEM, SHV, and OXA genes among the isolated Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae obtained from urine specimens of kidney transplant patients. Materials & Methods: The ba...
متن کاملCross-infection of solid organ transplant recipients by a multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae isolate producing the OXA-48 carbapenemase, likely derived from a multiorgan donor.
We describe two cases of bacteremic infections caused by a multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae isolate producing the OXA-48 carbapenemase that occurred in two solid organ transplant (liver and kidney) recipients, which was apparently transmitted with the allografts. This finding underscores the risk of donor-derived infections by multidrug-resistant Gram-negative pathogens in solid organ ...
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 کاملThe Prevalence of Carbapenemase Producing Klebsiella pneumoniae Strains Isolated from Clinical Urine Specimens in University Teaching Hospitals, Iran
Background and Aims: Klebsiella pneumoniae is a gram negative opportunistic pathogen of nosocomial infections that causes pneumonia, urinary tract infection (UTI), meningitis, septicemia and diarrhea. The emergence and spread of carbapenemase producing Klebsiella pneumoniae often cause failure in the treatment of infections. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of carbapenemase ...
متن کاملComplete Genome Sequence of KPC-Producing Klebsiella pneumoniae Strain CAV1193
Carbapenem resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae, frequently conferred by the blaKPC gene, is a major public health threat. We sequenced a blaKPC-containing strain of K. pneumoniae belonging to the emergent lineage ST941, in order to better understand the evolution of blaKPC within this species.
