The First Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolate Co-Producing OXA-48 and NDM-1 in Turkey

The First Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolate Co-Producing OXA-48 and NDM-1 in Turkey

Dear Editor Resistance to broad-spectrum antimicrobials is a well-known challenge in treating Enterobacteriaceae infection worldwide. Carbapenems are an important class of antimicrobials used in treatment against these organisms, although increasing resistance to carbapenems has been reported among Enterobacteriaceae [1]. The production of OXA-48 was first described in Klebsiella pneumoniae iso...

A silent outbreak due to Klebsiella pneumoniae that co-produced NDM-1 and OXA-48 carbapenemases, and infection control measures

Objective(s): Infections due to carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae are associated with high morbidity and mortality. In this study, we report a hospital outbreak due to co-producing OXA-48 and NDM-1 K. pneumoniae clone. The aim of the study is to investigate the clonal relationship of strains, risk factors of outbreak and infection control measures.<em...

NDM-1 and rmtC-Producing Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolates in Turkey

BACKGROUND The resistance of aminoglycosides in strains that produce beta-lactamase can be developed through the multidrug resistant encoding genes carried by common plasmids. Recently, the association between 16S rRNA methyltransferase resistance and beta-lactamase enzymes carried by the same plasmids has drawn increased attention from researchers, particularly the association in aminoglycosid...

First report of OXA-181 and NDM-1 from a clinical Klebsiella pneumoniae isolate from Nigeria.

Emergence 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...
