Carbapenemase-producing Gram-negative bacteria in aquatic environments: a review
نویسندگان
چکیده
Antibiotic resistance is one of the greatest public-health challenges worldwide, especially with regard to Gram-negative bacteria (GNB). Carbapenems are β-lactam antibiotics choice broadest spectrum activity and, in many cases, last-resort treatment for several bacterial infections. Carbapenemase-encoding genes, mainly carried by mobile genetic elements, main mechanism against carbapenems GNB. These enzymes exhibit a versatile hydrolytic capacity and confer most antibiotics. After being considered clinical issue, increasing attention giving dissemination such mechanisms environment through water. Aquatic environments among significant microbial habitats on our planet, known as favourable medium antibiotic gene transfer, they play crucial role huge spread drug community. In this review, we present current knowledge regarding carbapenemase-producing isolates different aquatic environments, which may help implementation control prevention strategies dangerous resistant agents environment.

Travel-related carbapenemase-producing Gram-negative bacteria in Alberta, Canada: the first 3 years.
We describe here the characteristics of Alberta, Canada, patients with infections or colonizations with carbapenemase-producing Gram-negative bacteria during 2010 to 2013 that were linked to recent travel outside Canada. Antimicrobial susceptibility was determined by broth microdilution, and isolates were characterized using PCR, sequencing, and multilocus sequencing typing. A broth mating stud...
متن کاملDetection of Carbapenemase Production in Gram-negative Bacteria
The greatest threat to antimicrobial treatment of infections caused by Gram-negative bacteria is the production of carbapenemases. Metallo-beta-lactamases and plasmid-mediated serine carbepenemases like Klebsiella pneumonia carbapenemase are threatening the utility of almost all currently available beta-lactams including carbapenems. Detection of organisms producing carbapenemases can be diffic...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Rapidec Carba NP Test Kit for Detection of Carbapenemase-Producing Gram-Negative Bacteria.
Recently, bioMérieux, France, introduced the Rapidec Carba NP test kit for rapid detection of carbapenemase-producing Gram-negative bacteria. This kit was evaluated in this study, and we report sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values of 92.6%, 96.2%, 95.83%, and 92.6%, respectively. The test was easy to perform and interpret and relatively inexpensive ($5/Rs 300 pe...

BACKGROUND The emergence and spread of extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Gram- negative bacteria (GNB), particularly in Enterobacteriaceae, Acinetobacter baumannii, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, have increased all over the world. ESBLs are characterized by their ability to hydrolyze β-lactams, early cephalosporins, oxyimino-thiazolyl cephalosporins, and monobactams, but not cephamyci...
متن کاملEmergence of In-Vitro Colistin and/or Tigecycline resistance among Carbapenemase producing Gram negative Bacteria in nosocomial set up
Resistance to Tigecycline and/or Colistin among nosocomial pathogens is an emerging problem. Objective of the study was to record the drug susceptibility pattern of carbapenemase producing gram negative bacteria causing various nosocomial infections. This study was performed over six months from January to June2013 with 167 nonrepeat culture isolates causing various nosocomial infections.Antimi...
