Emergence of New Delhi Metallo-β-Lactamase, Austria
To the Editor: Extended-spectrum β-lactamase–producing Enter-obacteriaceae strains have emerged as a major public health problem throughout the world, particularly in India and Pakistan. The widespread use of carbapenems, the only agents reliably active against these bacteria, resulted in the emergence of a new resistance mechanism. New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM-1) was fi rst detected in a...

Further studies have shown broad dissemination of this β-lactamase gene (bla NDM-1) in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and the United Kingdom (2). Additional isolates have ...
متن کاملEmergence of Acinetobacter pittii Harboring New Delhi Metallo-β-Lactamase Genes in Daejeon, Korea
Carbapenemase production has been reported worldwide in gram-negative bacteria, including Acinetobacter species. We detected carbapenemase-producing Acinetobacter pittii in clinical isolates in Daejeon, Korea. Twenty-one ertapenem-resistant A. pittii isolates screened with a disk diffusion method were characterized by using the Epsilon test, four multiplex PCR assays, and a multilocus sequence ...
متن کاملNew Delhi metallo-β-lactamase-1: detection and prevention.
1240 CMAJ, August 9, 2011, 183(11) © 2011 Canadian Medical Association or its licensors The advent of New Delhi metallo-β lactamase-1 (NDM-1) as a new mechanism of microbial resistance went mostly unmarked, despite it being plasmidmediated, highly transferable and able to confer resistance to most antibiotics (with the exceptions of colistin and tigecycline). However, after the Indian subcontin...
متن کاملEmergence of Multidrug-Resistant New Delhi Metallo-β-Lactamase-1-Producing Klebsiella pneumoniae in Egypt.
Despite expansion of the New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase-1 (NDM-1) worldwide, the incident of outbreaks regarding Egypt is still uncommon. In this survey, we denounce the emanation of multidrug-resistant NDM-1-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae in Egypt. We have reclaimed 46 unrepeatable carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae isolates at El-demerdash hospital, Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt. All the...
