Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae in Europe: a survey among national experts from 39 countries, February 2013 9 by C Glasner, B Albiger, G Buist, A Tambić Andrašević, R Canton, Y Carmeli, AW Friedrich, CG Giske, Y Glupczynski, M Gniadkowski, DM Livermore, P Nordmann, L Poirel, GM Rossolini, H Seifert, A Vatopoulos, T Walsh, N Woodford, T Donker, DL Monnet, H Grundmann, the European Sur...

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...

In this study, New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase (NDM)-producing Enterobacteriaceae were identified in Irish recreational waters and sewage. Indistinguishable NDM-producing Escherichia coli by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis were isolated from sewage, a fresh water stream and a human source. NDM-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from sewage and seawater in the same area were closely rela...

Extensive biochemical testing and 16S rRNA and rpoB sequence analysis revealed that clinical strain CF01Ent1, initially identified as Buttiauxella agrestis by the use of Api 32 biochemical strips, is a new organism in the Enterobacteriaceae family. It produced an inducible AmpC-type -lactamase whose sequence shares 69 to 72% identity with those of the other AmpC-type -lactamases of Enterobacter...

Intestinal members of the family Enterobacteriaceae were eliminated in five human volunteers treated with oral ofloxacin for 5 days. No emergence of resistant Enterobacteriaceae was observed. Counts of group D streptococci were significantly reduced. Colonization by Candida sp. was observed in all five volunteers during ofloxacin treatment. The anaerobic flora was fairly stable from one sample ...

Enterobacteriaceae are an important cause of infections, and the infection recurred weeks after finishing the antibiotic cycle, which led to another hospitalisation. For this reason, we decided to initiate treatment with the recent antibiespecially in immunocompromised patients. The recent appearance of carbapenemase-producing enterobacteriaceae otic ceftazidime–avibactam (C–A) for 2 weeks at a...

The in-vitro activities of six newer cepl~alosporins against 459 recently isolated strains of Gram-negative bacilli were determined using an agar dilution method to establish minimum inhibitory concentrations (mics). The cephalosporins tested were cefotaxime, moxalactam,cefoperazone, ceftriaxone, cefsulodin and ceftazidio~e. The strains tested included Enterobacteriaceae, Pscudornorlas aerugims...

Killing rates of fluoroquinolones, beta-lactams, and vancomycin were compared against Enterobacteriaceae, Staphylococcus aureus, pneumococci, streptococci, and Enterococcus faecalis. The times required for fluoroquinolones to decrease viability by 3 log(10) were 1.5 h for Enterobacteriaceae, 4 to 6 h for staphylococci, and >/=6 h for streptococci and enterococci. Thus, the rate of killing by fl...

We report on the evolution and epidemiology of carbapenem non-susceptible Enterobacteriaceae (CNSE) including carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) in Belgium between January 2007 and April 2011. Significantly higher numbers of CNSE and of CPE were detected in 2010 and 2011 compared to the years 2007 to 2009. The majority of patients carrying CPE did not have history of travel abroad...
