OXA-181-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae establishing in Singapore
BACKGROUND Carbapenemase producing Enterobacteriaceae are becoming a major public health concern globally, however, relatively little is known about the molecular and clinical epidemiology of these organisms in many parts of the world. METHODS As part of a laboratory surveillance programme, 96 carbapenem non-susceptible Enterobacteriaceae isolates from clinical samples from patients in seven ...
متن کاملblaOXA-181–positive Klebsiella pneumoniae, Singapore
To the Editor: Nordmann et al. (1) raised concern over the global spread of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae. In their article, they called attention to the oxacillinase-48 (OXA-48) type carbapenemases because bacteria that produce these enzymes do not have a distinctive antimicrobial drug susceptibility profi le, and there is less awareness of this mechanism of carbapenem resistance....
متن کاملKlebsiella pneumoniae Co-Producing NDM-5 and OXA-181 Carbapenemases, South Korea
To the Editor: Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae are being reported worldwide. Travel, medical tourism, and cross-border transfer of patients might play a role in the spread of these bacteria (1,2). Klebsiella pneumoniae co-producing New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase 5 (NDM-5) and oxacillinase 181 (OXA-181) carbapenemases was detected in South Korea in 2014. On April 13, a 75-year-old man ...
متن کاملEmergence of clinical Klebsiella pneumoniae producing OXA-232 carbapenemase in Singapore
We report the emergence of OXA-232, a newly described OXA-48-like carbapenemase variant, in Southeast Asia. Molecular characterization of eight Klebsiella pneumoniae obtained from local and foreign patients reveals clonality of the isolates. bla OXA-232 was located on a non-conjugative plasmid of 6141 base pairs (GenBank accession number JX423831.1).
متن کاملEmergence of OXA-48-Producing Klebsiella pneumoniae in Taiwan
The isolation of OXA-48-producing Enterobacteriaceae has increased dramatically in Mediterranean countries in the past 10 years, and has recently emerged in Asia. Between January 2012 and May 2014, a total of 760 carbapenem non-susceptible Klebsiella pneumoniae (CnSKP) isolates were collected during a Taiwan national surveillance. Carbapenemases were detected in 210 CnSKP isolates (27.6%), incl...
