Detection of Metallo-Beta-lactamase Production in Rare Carbapenem-Resistant Non-fermentative Gram-Negative Bacilli Isolated in a Tertiary Care Hospital, Visakhapatnam, India
Introduction: Non-fermentative Gram-negative bacilli (NFGNB) are occasionally involved in infectious diseases pathology, but have shown resistance to multiple antibiotics and the capability to gain new resistance factors in the hospital environment. The present study was aimed to investigate the antibiotic susceptibility pattern of rare NFGNB isolated from different clinical samples and the pre...
متن کاملDetection of Carbapenem Resistant Gram-Negative Bacteria in Clinical Isolates from a Tertiary Care Hospital
Multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria are a major public health threat. However, intense efforts to limit their spread, the number of multidrug resistant Gram-negative bacteria continues to increase globally. Carbapenems, the most broad-spectrum beta lactam antibiotics active against Gram-negative organisms, are very slowly hydrolyzed by most beta-lactamases. Because of their broad-spectru...
متن کاملDetection of Metallo-Beta-lactamase Production in Rare Carbapenem-Resistant Non-fermentative Gram-Negative Bacilli Isolated in a Tertiary Care Hospital, Visakhapatnam, India
Non-fermenting Gram-negative bacilli (NFGNB) are a group of aerobic, non-sporing organisms that either does not use carbohydrates as a source of energy or consume them through metabolic pathways other than fermentation [1]. These organisms are abundant in nature like soil, water, plants, decaying vegetation, food-stuffs and normal flora of humans. In hospitals, nebulizers, disinfectants, dialys...
متن کاملDetection of Inducible AmpC β-Lactamase-Producing Gram-Negative Bacteria in a Teaching Tertiary Care Hospital in North India
AmpC β-lactamase enzymes confer resistance to a wide variety of β-lactam antibiotics, except carbapenems. AmpC β-lactamase-producing bacteria are known to be causative pathogens of nosocomial infections, which are difficult to be treated. Hence, this study was aimed out to determine the prevalence of AmpC β-lactamase enzyme production among Gram-negative bacteria. A total of 500 multidrug-resis...
متن کاملTreatment and Outcome of Carbapenem-Resistant Gram-Negative Bacilli Blood-Stream Infections in a Tertiary Care Hospital.
CONTEXT Infections caused by carbapenem-resistant bacteria constitute a major challenge for current medical practice. OBJECTIVE To describe treatment and outcome of carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacilli (GNB) blood-stream infection (BSI) caused by these organisms at a tertiary care hospital in Mumbai. METHODS Carbapenem-resistant isolates from blood cultures were collected from January...
