Meropenem resistance in imipenem-susceptible meropenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates not detected by rapid automated testing systems.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Klebsiella pneumoniae showing high resistance to all β-lactams except imipenem, designated as ISMRK (imipenem-susceptible meropenem-resistant Klebsiella) is emerging in Japan. The carbapenem resistance of ISMRK cannot be screened by the Vitek and the RAISUS rapid automated susceptibility test systems, which may lead to inappropriate antimicrobial therapy, resulting in compromised patient outcomes.

Carbapenem Resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae Not Detected by Automated Susceptibility Testing
Detecting beta-lactamase-mediated carbapenem resistance among Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates and other Enterobacteriaceae is an emerging problem. In this study, 15 blaKPC-positive Klebsiella pneumoniae that showed discrepant results for imipenem and meropenem from 4 New York City hospitals were characterized by isoelectric focusing; broth microdilution (BMD); disk diffusion (DD); and MicroScan,...

Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae caused an outbreak in a hospital in Rome, Italy. The clinical isolates were tested by antimicrobial susceptibility testing, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, multilocus sequence typing, plasmid typing, and β-lactamase identification. The OmpK35 and OmpK36 porins were analyzed by SDS-PAGE, and their genes were amplified and sequenced. Complementation ex...
متن کاملblaKPC gene Detection in Clinical Isolates of Carbapenem Resistant Enterobacteriaceae in a Tertiary Care Hospital.
INTRODUCTION Carbapenem resistance among Enterobacteriaceae, especially in Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli, is an emerging problem worldwide. A common mechanism of carbapenem resistance is the production of class-A, Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC). AIMS AND OBJECTIVES The present study focused on determining the antibiotic resistance pattern and prevalence of bla KPC gene...
متن کاملDiscrepancies and interpretation problems in susceptibility testing of VIM-1-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates.
Susceptibilities to beta-lactam antibiotics of five VIM-1-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates were determined by broth microdilution, Etest, disk diffusion, and the automated systems Vitek 2, Phoenix, and MicroScan. Significant discrepancies were observed in the determination of susceptibility to imipenem and meropenem. Interpretation problems by the automated systems were also noted.

BACKGROUND Emergence of carbapenems-resistant K. pneumoniae represents a serious challenge for antimicrobial therapy. OBJECTIVE The aim of this research is to determine different mechanisms mediating the emergence of K. pneumoniae isolates with high-level carbapenem resistance. METHOD A total of 80 K. pneumoniae isolates were purified from sputum and urine specimens. The minimum inhibitory ...
