Evaluation of Patient Risk Factors for Carbapenemase-Producing Organism Colonization

Carbapenemase-producing Organism in Food, 2014

human coronaviruses–229E and -OC43 and severe acute respiratory syndrome–CoV were able to survive in suspension at room temperature for several days (8,9). Moreover, severe acute respiratory syndrome–CoV was completely inactivated after heat treatment at 60°C for 30 min (9). Human-to-human transmission of MERS-CoV is inefficient, and the transmission route has not yet been revealed. The predomi...

Evaluation of Carba NP Method for Rapid Detection of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Isolates Producing Carbapenemase Enzymes

Background and purpose: Recently, increased resistance to carbapenem antibiotics among Pseudomonas aeruginosa has raised concerns. The Carba NP test is used for detection of carbapenemase types. This study aimed at applying Carba NP method for rapid detection of P. aeruginosa isolates producing carbapenemase enzymes. Materials and methods: A total of 97 clinical specimens was collected from pa...

Multiple colonization with highly resistant bacteria: carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae, carbapenemase-producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa, carbapenemase-producing Acinetobacter baumannii, and glycopeptide-resistant Enterococcus faecium.

The dissemination of carbapenemase-producing bacteria worldwide is an important source of concern because carbapenemase producers are multidrug resistant (Nordmann and Poirel, 2014). National guidelines increasingly recommend a systematic screening of at least carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) and glycopeptideresistant enterococci (GRE) in patients admitted to hospitals who have ...
