Carbapenem-resistant enterobacteriacae: a challenge for early detection and infection control

Results Between October 2009 January 2010, we identified 1 imported case of KPC (origin, Southern Italy) and 3 cases of NDM-1 producing Enterobacteriaceae, transferred from hospitals in India (1), Pakistan (2) and Serbia/ France(3). Patient 1on admission digestive carrier of E. coli blaNDM-1. Patient 2digestive carrier of P. mirabilis blaNDM-1 detected after extended hospitalization and antibio...

Evaluation of brilliance CRE agar for the detection of carbapenem-resistant gram-negative bacteria.

The aim of this work was to evaluate the performance of the new chromogenic medium BrillianceTM CREAgar (Thermo Fisher Scientific) for determining the limit of detection of carbapenem-resistant enterobacteria (CRE). A total of 70 clinical isolates were studied. Of these, 30 were well-characterized CRE, including Klebsiella pneumoniae strains producing KPC-, VIM-, and OXA-type enzymes, VIM-posit...

Carbapenem-resistant enterobacteriaceae: an emerging problem in children.

Antibiotic resistance among gram-negative bacteria has reached critical levels. The rise of carbapenem resistance in Enterobacteriaceae carrying additional resistance genes to multiple antibiotic classes has created a generation of organisms nearly resistant to all available therapy. Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) infections are known to be associated with significant morbidity a...
