Emergence of NDM-1-producing Acinetobacter pittii in Brazil.
Sir, The New Delhi metallo-lactamase (NDM), initially reported in Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli, is now disseminated worldwide mostly among Enterobacteriaceae [1]. The NDM carbapenemase has also been described in Acinetobacter baumannii, but only in sporadic cases in countries such as China, India, Egypt, Germany, Israel and, more recently, Brazil [1,2]. Noteworthy, recent studies ...

متن کاملMolecular epidemiology of NDM-1-producing Enterobacteriaceae and Acinetobacter baumannii isolates from Pakistan.
The molecular epidemiology of 66 NDM-producing isolates from 2 Pakistani hospitals was investigated, with their genetic relatedness determined using repetitive sequence-based PCR (Rep-PCR). PCR-based replicon typing and screening for antibiotic resistance genes encoding carbapenemases, other β-lactamases, and 16S methylases were also performed. Rep-PCR suggested a clonal spread of Enterobacter ...
متن کاملNDM-1-producing Acinetobacter baumannii from Algeria.
Over the last decade, nosocomial infections with Acinetobacter baumannii have been described with an increasing trend toward multidrug resistance, mostly in intensive care units (ICUs) (6, 9, 11). The main mechanism of resistance to carbapenems in A. baumannii is the production of acquired OXA-type carbapenemases, which have been frequently identified worldwide and are clustered in three major ...
متن کاملCould bats act as reservoir hosts for Rift Valley fever virus?
The inter-epizootic reservoir host of Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) remains unknown, although the namaqua rock rat, Aethomys namaquensis, as well as bats have been implicated. Bats can be asymptomatically infected with rabies, as well as several arboviruses; the possibility that they can act as host for RVFV therefore exists. To examine this possibility, 350 different samples (brain, liver, sa...
