KlebSeq, a Diagnostic Tool for Surveillance, Detection, and Monitoring of Klebsiella pneumoniae
Health care-acquired infections (HAIs) kill tens of thousands of people each year and add significantly to health care costs. Multidrug-resistant and epidemic strains are a large proportion of HAI agents, and multidrug-resistant strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae, a leading HAI agent, have caused an urgent public health crisis. In the health care environment, patient colonization by K. pneumoniae...
متن کاملAntimicrobial Resistance Pattern and Prevalence of Class 1, 2, and 3 Integrons in Clinical Isolates of Klebsiella Pneumoniae in Loghman-E Hakim Hospital, Tehran
Abstract Background and Objective: Multiple drug resistance has increased in recent years in Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates. The Integrons are mobile genetic elements that carry antibiotics resistance genes. The aim of this study was to determine antibiotic susceptibility and the prevalence of class 1, 2, and 3 integrons in clinical Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from clinical specimens. Materi...

متن کاملNational sentinel site surveillance for antimicrobial resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates
563 August 2014, Vol. 104, No. 8 The increasing prevalence of serious hospitaland community-acquired infections is of great concern, with patients dying as a result of emerging antimicrobial resistance. Antibiotic-resistant organisms are widespread globally, both in developed and developing countries.[1] These organisms are a major threat to public health, reduce the effectiveness of empiric an...
متن کاملMultiplex real-time PCR for detection of an epidemic KPC-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae ST258 clone.
We describe a multiplex real-time PCR assay capable of identifying both the epidemic Klebsiella pneumoniae ST258 clone and bla(KPC) carbapenemase genes in a single reaction. The assay displayed excellent sensitivity (100%) and specificity (100%) for identification of ST258 clone and bla(KPC) in a collection of 75 K. pneumoniae isolates comprising 41 sequence types. Our results suggest that this...
