Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii
To the editor: We read with interest the paper of Hrabák et al. [1] on the isolation of a blaNDM-1-carrying Acinetobacter baumannii strain. However, although the authors believed to be the first in the Czech Republic to report on a New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase-1 (NDM-1)-producing bacterium, there have been other reports on the same A. baumannii strain in the country [2,3]. Here, we would li...
متن کاملCoexistence of blaNDM-1 with the prevalent blaOXA23 and blaIMP in pan-drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolates in China.
To the Editor—The emergence of New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase–1 (NDM1) in India, Pakistan, and the UK has sparked great fear of the threat posed by resistant microbial strains and by the use of antibiotics worldwide [1]. Thus far, NDM-1 carbapenemase has been detected in several countries in a diverse group of bacteria. Acinetobacter baumannii has emerged as one of the most troublesome pathog...
متن کاملCarbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii in healthcare settings
Carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii poses a significant threat to patients and healthcare systems in all EU/EEA countries. A. baumannii is the cause of serious infections in healthcare settings, and carbapenem resistance limits treatment options and increases the risk for adverse outcomes for patients. The epidemiological situation in Europe has worsened in the past years, with a higher number of...
متن کاملDissemination of multiple carbapenem-resistant clones of Acinetobacter baumannii in the Eastern District of Saudi Arabia
It has previously been shown that carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii are frequently detected in Saudi Arabia. The present study aimed to identify the epidemiology and distribution of antibiotic resistance determinants in these bacteria. A total of 83 A. baumannii isolates were typed by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), and screened by PCR for carbapenemase genes and insertion s...
متن کاملColistin-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii: beyond carbapenem resistance.
BACKGROUND With an increase in the use of colistin methansulfonate (CMS) to treat carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii infections, colistin resistance is emerging. METHODS Patients with infection or colonization due to colistin-resistant A. baumannii were identified at a hospital system in Pennsylvania. Clinical data were collected from electronic medical records. Susceptibility testi...
