Objective: Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) is one of the most prevalent human pathogens. Carbapenemaseproducing klebsiella (CPKP) has recently developed significant antibiotic resistance, not just to carbapenem antibiotics but also majority other currently available antibiotics. Prior this point, there have been few international studies or publications on situation CPKP in Vietnam. Hence...

BACKGROUND To evaluate in vitro susceptibilities of aerobic and facultative Gram-negative bacterial (GNB) isolates from intra-abdominal infections (IAIs) to 12 selected antimicrobials in Chinese hospitals from 2012 to 2014. METHODS Hospital acquired (HA) and community acquired (CA) IAIs were collected from 21 centers in 16 Chinese cities. Extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) status and ant...

Background: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global threat to public health. There dire need for new antibiotics as AMR threatens our last-resort efficacy.1,2 Myrtle plants have been used in folk medicine centuries. Essential oils from these demonstrated therapeutics effects. This study aims examine the antibacterial activity of essential extracted Myrtus communis L and Melaleuca leucadendro...

background and objective: the production of carbapenemases especially klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (kpc) is the most important mechanism of enzymatic resistance in isolated enterobacteriaceae such as k. pneumoniae. the purpose of this study was detected of the carbapenemase producer k. pneumoniae strains with phenotypic and genotypic methods. method: out of 800 strains, 270 k. pneumoniae...

Klebsiella pneumoniae causes urinary tract infections, respiratory tract infections, and septicemia in susceptible individuals. Strains of Klebsiella frequently produce extended-spectrum beta-lactamases, and infections with these strains can lead to relatively high mortality rates (approximately 15%). Other virulence factors include production of an antiphagocytic capsule and outer membrane lip...

Rhinoscleroma is a chronic granulomatous infection of the upper airways caused by the bacterium Klebsiella pneumoniae subsp. rhinoscleromatis. The disease is endemic in tropical and subtropical areas, but its diagnosis remains difficult. As a consequence, and despite available antibiotherapy, some patients evolve advanced stages that can lead to disfiguration, severe respiratory impairment and ...

BACKGROUND Microbial cells growing in biofilms, play a huge role in the spread of antimicrobial resistance. In this study, biofilm formation of Klebsiella strains belonging to 3 different Klebsiella species (K. ornithinolytica, K. oxytoca and K. terrigena), cooccurences' effect on biofilm formation amount and anti-biofilm effects of Citrus limon and Zingiber officinale essential oils on biofilm...
