چکیده

Carbapenem susceptibility in Enterobacteriaceae (M9921, M9959) revealed the presence of MBLs bla(VIM-2) (M9959) and bla(IMP-8) (M9921), both as first cassettes of class-1-integrons. ESBL bla(PER-2) was detected in both strains and M9921 also harboured qnrB10, aac(6')-Ib and aac(6')-Ib-cr. This is the first report of MBLs in Enterobacteriaceae from Argentina.

Emergence of Citrobacter freundii carrying IMP-8 metallo-β-lactamase in Germany

Metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) in Enterobacteriaceae are an increasing problem worldwide. This report describes the isolation of Citrobacter freundii carrying IMP-8 MBL from three patients during the period from March 2012 until March 2013 in Germany. The bla IMP-8 enzyme is predominantly found in Asia, where IMP-8 has spread to various enterobacterial species causing serious infections. To our be...

An Update on the Status of Potent Inhibitors of Metallo-β-Lactamases

The production of metallo-β-lactamases is the most important strategy by which pathogenic bacteria become resistant to currently known β-lactam antibiotics. The emergence of these enzymes is particularly concerning for the future treatment of bacterial infections. There are no clinically available drugs capable of inhibiting any of the metallo-β-lactamases, so there is an urgent need to find su...

Interactions of OP0595, a Novel Triple-Action Diazabicyclooctane, with β-Lactams against OP0595-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae Mutants.

OP0595 is a novel diazabicyclooctane which, like avibactam, inhibits class A and C β-lactamases. In addition, unlike avibactam, it has antibacterial activity, with MICs of 0.5 to 4 μg/ml for most members of the family Enterobacteriaceae, owing to inhibition of PBP2; moreover, it acts synergistically with PBP3-active β-lactams independently of β-lactamase inhibition, via an "enhancer effect." En...
