Phenotypic and Enzymatic Comparative Analysis of the KPC Variants, KPC-2 and Its Recently Discovered Variant KPC-15
Sixteen different variants (KPC-2 to KPC-17) in the KPC family have been reported, and most current studies are focusing on KPC-2 and KPC-3. The KPC-15 variant, which isolated from Klebsiella pneumoniae in a Chinese hospital, was a recently discovered KPC enzyme. To compare the characteristics of KPC-15 and KPC-2, the variants were determined by susceptibility testing, PCR amplification and seq...
متن کاملActive surveillance for KPC-experiencereport
Introduction / objectives Bacterial resistance to antimicrobials has increased over the years, but the importance of empirical investigation of these bacteria contributes to the prevention of spread within the institution. The Infection Control Comission Protocol has as surveillance for resistant organisms since 1996.In Brazil, Klebsiela pneumoniae carbapenemase enzyme (KPC) was the first descr...
متن کاملIn vitro activity of the β-lactamase inhibitor NXL104 against KPC-2 carbapenemase and Enterobacteriaceae expressing KPC carbapenemases
BACKGROUND NXL104 is a novel-structure beta-lactamase inhibitor with potent activity against both class A and class C enzymes. Among the class A carbapenemases, KPC-type enzymes are now spreading rapidly and KPC-related carbapenemase resistance is an emerging phenomenon of great clinical importance. The activity of NXL104 against KPC beta-lactamases was examined. METHODS Enzymatic activity of...
متن کاملTranslation invariant mappings on KPC-hypergroups
In this paper, we give an extension of the Wendel's theorem on KPC-hypergroups. We also show that every translation invariant mapping is corresponding with a unique positive measure on the KPC-hypergroup.
