Management of infections due to KPC-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae
The emergence of the Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemases in K. pneumoniae and other Gram-negative bacteria, usually on a background of multidrug resistance, has led to difficult therapeutic choices. Among available antibiotics, tigecycline and the polymyxins are the most frequently active against these organisms in vitro. Optimal therapy of infections due to these bacteria may involve maximiza...
متن کاملKPC-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae, finally targeting Turkey
We report here the first identification of the worldwide spread of Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase-2-producing and carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae clone ST258 in Turkey, a country where the distantly-related carbapenemase OXA-48 is known to be endemic. Worryingly, this isolate was also resistant to colistin, now considered to be the last-resort antibiotic for carbapenem-resistant isolates.

متن کاملIn vitro pharmacodynamics of colistin against multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae.
BACKGROUND Resistance to colistin is emerging in multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria and no solid pharmacodynamic data are available for colistin against Klebsiella pneumoniae. METHODS Twenty-one multidrug-resistant clinical K. pneumoniae isolates from 16 different clinical sites worldwide were employed. The genetic relatedness of these isolates was examined with PFGE. In vitro pharmac...
