Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii
To the editor: We read with interest the paper of Hrabák et al. [1] on the isolation of a blaNDM-1-carrying Acinetobacter baumannii strain. However, although the authors believed to be the first in the Czech Republic to report on a New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase-1 (NDM-1)-producing bacterium, there have been other reports on the same A. baumannii strain in the country [2,3]. Here, we would li...
متن کاملPhenotypic characterization and colistin susceptibilities of carbapenem-resistant of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter spp.
INTRODUCTION Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobcter spp. are important nosocomial pathogens and carbapenem resistance is an emerging threat. Therapeutic options for infections with these isolates include colistin. This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of carbapenem resistance in P. aeruginosa and Acinetobacter spp. bloodstream isolates, phenotypically characterize the resistance...
متن کاملDetection and characterization of class 1 integrons among carbapenem-resistant isolates of Acinetobacter spp. in Malaysia.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE To detect and characterize class 1 integrons among carbapenem-resistant strains of Acinetobacter spp. at University Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC), Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. METHODS Thirty nine carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter strains were obtained from UMMC from August 2003 to March 2004 and analyzed for the presence of bla(IMP) genes and class 1 integrons. RESULTS Cla...
متن کاملMolecular epidemiology of clinical isolates of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter spp. from Chinese hospitals.
Carbapenem resistance in Acinetobacter spp. is an emerging problem in China. We investigated the molecular epidemiology and carbapenemase genes of 221 nonrepetitive imipenem-resistant clinical isolates of Acinetobacter spp. collected from 1999 to 2005 at 11 teaching hospitals in China. Genotyping by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) found 15 PFGE patterns. Of these, one (clone P) was iden...
متن کاملColistin-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii: beyond carbapenem resistance.
BACKGROUND With an increase in the use of colistin methansulfonate (CMS) to treat carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii infections, colistin resistance is emerging. METHODS Patients with infection or colonization due to colistin-resistant A. baumannii were identified at a hospital system in Pennsylvania. Clinical data were collected from electronic medical records. Susceptibility testi...
