Importation of KPC-2-producing Escherichia coli from India.
Sir, The production of carbapenem-hydrolysing b-lactamases is increasingly reported in Enterobacteriaceae. Among the different types of carbapenemases, the emergence of the Ambler class A KPC-type b-lactamases is of great concern, since those enzymes hydrolyse all b-lactams with the exception of cephamycins. Enterobacterial isolates producing KPC-type b-lactamases were reported in many areas in...
متن کاملEnvironmental KPC-producing Escherichia coli isolates in Portugal.
Carbapenemase-producing isolates of the Enterobacteriaceae are reported increasingly worldwide (9). Besides the emergence of OXA-48 and NDM-1 producers in specific geographical areas, KPC-producing isolates are endemic in many places (8). Those KPCs hydrolyze all -lactams, including carbapenems at a significant level, with the exception of cephamycins. The blaKPClike genes have been reported mo...
متن کاملEmergence of Escherichia coli sequence type 131 isolates producing KPC-2 carbapenemase in China.
Twenty-two KPC-2-producing Escherichia coli isolates were obtained from three hospitals in Hangzhou, China, from 2007 to 2011. One isolate, with OmpC porin deficiency, exhibited high-level carbapenem resistance. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis showed that few isolates were indistinguishable or closely related. Multilocus sequence typing indicated that sequence type 131 (ST131) was the predomin...
متن کاملMolecular characterization and antibiotic susceptibility pattern of caprine Shiga toxin producing-Escherichia coli (STEC) isolates from India
The present study was conducted to detect the occurrence, serotype, genotype, phylogenetic relationship and antimicrobial resistance pattern of STEC from healthy goats of West Bengal, India. From the 125 faecal samples collected from healthy goats, 245 isolates were identified as Escherichia coli. The E. coli harbouring any gene for Shiga toxins (stx1/stx2) was detected in 36 (14.7%) of the 245...
متن کاملCarbapenem-resistant KPC-2-producing Escherichia coli in a Tel Aviv Medical Center, 2005 to 2008.
All of the carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli (CREC) isolates identified in our hospital from 2005 to 2008 (n = 10) were studied. CREC isolates were multidrug resistant, all carried bla(KPC-2), and six of them were also extended-spectrum beta-lactamase producers. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis indicated six genetic clones; within the same clone, similar transferable bla(KPC-2)-containing p...
