Nosocomial outbreak of Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella oxytoca in Austria.
To date, no outbreak of carbapenemase-producing bacteria has been reported for Austria. While outbreaks of Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC)-producing K. pneumoniae have been increasingly reported, no outbreak caused by KPC-producing Klebsiella oxytoca has been described yet, to the best of our knowledge. We report an outbreak of KPC-producing K. oxytoca. In 5 months, 31 KPC-producing K...
متن کاملThe Prevalence of Carbapenemase Producing Klebsiella pneumoniae Strains Isolated from Clinical Urine Specimens in University Teaching Hospitals, Iran
Background and Aims: Klebsiella pneumoniae is a gram negative opportunistic pathogen of nosocomial infections that causes pneumonia, urinary tract infection (UTI), meningitis, septicemia and diarrhea. The emergence and spread of carbapenemase producing Klebsiella pneumoniae often cause failure in the treatment of infections. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of carbapenemase ...
متن کاملEvaluation of Antibiotic Resistance Patterns and Frequency of Carbapenemase-Producing Acinetobacter baumannii Isolates by the Carbacineto NP Test
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives: Acinetobacter baumannii is an opportunistic pathogen associated with nosocomial infections. Treatment of infections caused by this bacterium has become challenging due to increasing rate of resistance to a wide range of antibiotics such as carbapenems. One of the main mechanisms of resistance to carbapen...
متن کاملEmergence of In-Vitro Colistin and/or Tigecycline resistance among Carbapenemase producing Gram negative Bacteria in nosocomial set up
Resistance to Tigecycline and/or Colistin among nosocomial pathogens is an emerging problem. Objective of the study was to record the drug susceptibility pattern of carbapenemase producing gram negative bacteria causing various nosocomial infections. This study was performed over six months from January to June2013 with 167 nonrepeat culture isolates causing various nosocomial infections.Antimi...
متن کاملClonal replacement of epidemic KPC-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae in a hospital in China
BACKGROUND Klebsiella pneumoniae is a frequent nosocomial pathogen causing difficult-to-treat infections worldwide. The prevalence of Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC)-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (KPC-KP) is increasing in China. The aim of this study was to investigate the molecular epidemiology of KPC-KP in a nosocomial outbreak. METHODS Fifty-four KPC-KP isolates were consecutiv...
