First description of an Escherichia coli strain producing NDM-1 carbapenemase in Spain.

چکیده
A carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli strain (DVR22) was recovered from a stool specimen from a patient with traveler's diarrhea who had traveled to India. Molecular screening led to the first identification of NDM-1 in Spain. The bla(NDM-1) gene was located in a conjugative plasmid of ca. 300 kb that also contained the bla(CTX-M-15), bla(TEM-1), Δbla(DHA-1), and armA genes. In addition, bla(NDM-1) was preceded by an ISAba125 insertion element only found in Acinetobacter spp.

Objective(s): Acinetobacter pittii has become an emerging opportunistic noscomial pathogen worldwide with multi-drug resistance. In the present study, an A. pittii strain was isolated from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid sample harboring both OXA-58 and NDM-1carbapenemase producing genes. The mechanisms of carbapenem resistance of the A. pittii strain was investigated.Materials and Methods: Carbap...
متن کاملPersistent carriage and infection by multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli ST405 producing NDM-1 carbapenemase: report on the first Italian cases.
We report on the first detection of the NDM-1 carbapenemase in Italy, in Escherichia coli isolated in October 2009. Prolonged colonization and relapsing infection by NDM-1-positive E. coli were observed in a patient (index case) with an indirect epidemiological link with areas of endemicity. Transient colonization was apparently observed in another patient linked with the index case.

Twelve consecutive carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli isolates were recovered from patients (infection or colonization) hospitalized between March and September 2012 in different units at a hospital in Bulgaria. They all produced the carbapenemase NDM-1 and the extended-spectrum-β-lactamase CTX-M-15, together with the 16S rRNA methylase RmtB, conferring high-level resistance to all aminoglyc...

An NDM-1 carbapenemase-producing Escherichia coli isolate of sequence type 131 (ST131) that belonged to phylogenetic group B2 was obtained from a patient with a urinary tract infection who returned to the United States after a recent hospitalization while visiting India. NDM-1-producing E. coli ST131 had significantly more virulence factors than NDM-1-producing E. coli ST101, previously isolate...
متن کاملIdentification and Characterization of the First Escherichia coli Strain Carrying NDM-1 Gene in China
New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase-1 (NDM-1), an acquired class B carbapenemase, is a significant clinical threat due to its extended hydrolysis of β-lactams including carbapenems. In this study, we identified the first confirmed clinical isolate of Escherichia coli BJ01 harboring bla(NDM-1) in China. The isolate is highly resistant to all tested antimicrobials except polymyxin. bla(NDM-1), bla(CTX-...
