Carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae
The continuing emergence of infections due to multidrug resistant bacteria is a serious public health problem. Klebsiella pneumoniae, which commonly acquires resistance encoded on mobile genetic elements, including ones that encode carbapenemases, is a prime example. K. pneumoniae carrying such genetic material, including both blaKPC and genes encoding metallo-β-lactamases, have spread globally...
متن کاملCarbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae and Hematologic Malignancies
To the Editor: Until a few years ago, the most frequent microbiologi-cally documented cause of severe bloodstream infections among patients with hematologic malignancies was gram-positive bacteria (1). However , over the years, gram-negative bacteria have become the main infectious cause of death among patients with hematologic malignancies, and rates of different phenotypes associated with ant...

متن کاملColistin heteroresistance in carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae.
Sir, Klebsiella pneumoniae is an important pathogen that causes severe and life-threatening infections. Most isolates demonstrate resistance to various antimicrobial agents. Carbapenems have been widely used to treat serious infections with multidrug-resistant K. pneumoniae. However, the increasing use of these compounds has led to the emergence of carbapenem-resistant isolates via acquired gen...
متن کاملInfections caused by carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae: risk factors, clinical features and prognosis.
Infections caused by carbapenem-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) can present as several infectious syndromes, but they primarily present as respiratory, urinary and blood stream infections (primary or catheter-related) that are usually found as nosocomial or healthcare-associated infections. The risk of CPE infection is influenced by individual factors, such as the length of the hospital stay...
