Spread of OXA-48-positive carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates in Istanbul, Turkey.
The first outbreak of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates producing the plasmid-encoded carbapenem-hydrolyzing oxacillinase OXA-48 is reported. The 39 isolates belonged to two different clones and were collected at the University Hospital of Istanbul, Turkey, from May 2006 to February 2007, and they coproduced various beta-lactamases (SHV-12, OXA-9, and TEM-1 for clone A and CTX...
متن کاملIdentification and characterization of OXA-48 producing, carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae isolates in Turkey.
Carbapenem resistance in Enterobacteriaceae isolates has been reported from Turkey and is most often mediated by OXA-48 type carbapenemases. We report the identification and characterization of four carbapenem-resistant isolates (three Klebsiella pneumoniae and one Escherichia coli) among 515 clinical Enterobacteriaceae isolates collected during a 7-month study period in Ankara, Turkey. The fou...
متن کاملSpread of Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates producing OXA-48 β-lactamase in a Tunisian university hospital.
Sir, The emergence and dissemination of Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates harbouring carbapenemases is a serious problem. Since the initial report of the OXA-48 enzyme in a K. pneumoniae isolate from Turkey in 2001, OXA-48 producers have been reported in many countries of the world. – 4 Current reports indicate that OXA-48 producers are widespread, mostly from Mediterranean countries as well as ot...
متن کاملSpread of NDM-1-producing Enterobacteriaceae in a neonatal intensive care unit in Istanbul, Turkey.
Twenty-two consecutive carbapenem-resistant enterobacterial isolates were recovered from patients hospitalized between January and April 2013 in different units at a university hospital in Istanbul, Turkey. These were Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates producing the carbapenemases OXA-48, NDM-1, and KPC-2, Enterobacter cloacae isolates producing NDM-1, and Escherichia coli isolates producing OXA-48...
متن کاملDraft Whole-Genome Sequence of OXA-48-Producing Multidrug-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae KP_ST11_OXA-48
We present the draft genome sequence of a blood culture isolate of OXA-48-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (sequence type 11 [ST11]) obtained in the course of a hospital outbreak in Spain. Sequence analysis showed 121 genes related to antibiotic and antiseptic resistance, including blaOXA-48, which was located in an IncL/M plasmid.
