Genetic characterisation of NDM-1 and NDM-5-producing Enterobacterales from retail chicken meat in Egypt

NDM-1-producing Acinetobacter baumannii from Algeria.

Over the last decade, nosocomial infections with Acinetobacter baumannii have been described with an increasing trend toward multidrug resistance, mostly in intensive care units (ICUs) (6, 9, 11). The main mechanism of resistance to carbapenems in A. baumannii is the production of acquired OXA-type carbapenemases, which have been frequently identified worldwide and are clustered in three major ...

Molecular epidemiology of colistin-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa producing NDM-1 from hospitalized patients in Iran

Objective(s): Resistance to carbapenems is the principal reason for the continuing utilization of colistin as a last resort choice for treating the infections resulted from multidrug carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CRPA) isolates. The assessment of antimicrobial resistance pattern, the prevalence of carbapenem-resistance determinants, and molecular epidemiology of colistin-resistan...
