Emergence of Klebsiella pneumoniae coproducing KPC-2 and 16S rRNA methylase ArmA in Poland.

چکیده
A Klebsiella pneumoniae epidemic strain that coproduced carbapenemase KPC-2 (K. pneumoniae carbapenemase 2) and 16S rRNA methylase ArmA has emerged in Poland. Four nonduplicate isolates from patients in a hospital in Warsaw, Poland, were found to carry the bla(KPC-2) and armA genes on ca. 50-kb and 90-kb plasmids, respectively. Tn4401 with a 100-bp deletion in the variable region was detected in all the isolates. XbaI pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) revealed 93.2% similarity of the isolates. All the isolates were resistant to carbapenems and 4,6-disubstituted 2-deoxystreptamines.

Background: The increasing pattern of Multi-Drug Resistant (MDR) bacteria has limited therapeutic options especially for nosocomial isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae. Therefore, the aim of this study was the molecular detection of 16S rRNA methylase and blaCTX-M-15 among K. pneumoniae strains isolated from hospitalized patients in Mofid, Imam Hossein and Taleghani hospitals. Materials and Me...

BACKGROUND Co production of 16S rRNA methylases gene and β-Lactamase gene among Enterobacteriaceae isolates conferring resistance to both therapeutic options has serious implications for clinicians worldwide. METHODS To study co existence of 16S rRNA methylases (armA, rmtA, rmtB, rmtC, rmtD, and npmA) and β-Lactamase (blaTEM-1, blaSHV-12, blaCTX-M-14) genes, we screened all phenotypic positiv...

We report here the draft genome sequence of a Klebsiella pneumoniae strain 1194/11, belonging to the hospital-associated sequence type 340 (ST340; clonal complex CC258), isolated from a catheter tip culture from a pediatric patient. The multidrug-resistant strain coproduced the 16S rRNA methyltransferase rRNA RmtG and β-lactamases KPC-2 and CTX-M-15.
متن کاملDistribution of 16S rRNA Methylases Among Different Species of Aminoglycoside-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae in a Tertiary Care Hospital in Poland.
BACKGROUND Aminoglycosides are a group of antimicrobial agents still the most commonly used in the treatment of life-threatening bacterial infections in human and animals. The emergence and spread of 16S rRNA methylases, which confer high-level resistance to the majority of clinically relevant aminoglycosides, constitute a major public health concern. OBJECTIVES Our goal was to evaluate the d...
