چکیده
Abstract Osteomyelitis of the base skull is a rare but life-threatening disease. Although Klebsiella pneumoniae not pathogen that frequently associated with this infection, clinical course can rapidly progress to meningitis. Here, we describe case chronic otitis media, secondary OXA-48K . , which was complicated by osteomyelitis and fatal

Genome sequence of OXA-48 carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae KpO3210.
Klebsiella pneumoniae KpO3210 is a OXA-48 carbapenemase-producing isolate obtained from a blood culture in the context of an outbreak in Hospital Universitario La Paz (Madrid, Spain) in 2010. It belongs to the major clone detected during the outbreak and is resistant to all beta-lactams and to several other antibiotics.
متن کاملIsolation of OXA-48 carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae ST101 from an overseas traveler returning to Japan.
OXA-48 carbapenemase-producing organisms have emerged rapidly worldwide and may be transmitted through patients who receive medical care abroad. To our knowledge, this is the second case of OXA-48-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from a patient who had returned to Japan after receiving treatment abroad.

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the possible occurrence of carbapenemase-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella spp. strains in domestic animals. METHODS Veterinary clinical E. coli (n = 1175) and Klebsiella spp. (n = 136) isolates consecutively collected from livestock and companion animals in Germany from June 2012 to October 2012 were screened for their susceptibility to carbapenems using the ag...
متن کاملEarly (2008-2010) hospital outbreak of Klebsiella pneumoniae producing OXA-48 carbapenemase in the UK.
OXA-48 β-lactamase is one of the several emerging carbapenemases. Pre-2007 reports were almost exclusively from Turkey, but subsequently its distribution has expanded. We report an early and prolonged outbreak in the UK of Klebsiella pneumoniae producing OXA-48 carbapenemase affecting a predominantly renal cohort in a West London hospital. Carbapenemase production was detected by the modified H...
متن کاملBroad-spectrum β-lactam antibiotics for treating experimental peritonitis in mice due to Klebsiella pneumoniae producing the carbapenemase OXA-48.
A lethal peritonitis model was induced in mice with a Klebsiella pneumoniae isolate producing the carbapenemase OXA-48. Administration of a single dose (up to 100 mg/kg) of the antibiotic piperacillin-tazobactam, imipenem-cilastatin, ertapenem, or cefotaxime had little or no impact on lethality. Ceftazidime had the highest efficacy in vivo, which mirrored its in vitro activity; this was not the...
