Laboratory Protocol for Detection of Carbapenem-Resistant or Carbapenemase-Producing, Klebsiella spp. and E. coli from Rectal Swabs
Purpose To identify patients colonized with carbapenem-resistant or carbapenamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae in the intestinal tract. Patients who grow these organisms should be placed on Contact Precautions (5) to prevent transmission of the resistant bacteria. The procedure described below is a modification of the procedure described by Landman et al. (4). See the procedural notes for steps...
متن کاملColistin resistance superimposed to endemic carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae: a rapidly evolving problem in Italy, November 2013 to April 2014.
Consecutive non-replicate clinical isolates (n=191) of carbapenem non-susceptible Enterobacteriaceae were collected from 21 hospital laboratories across Italy from November 2013 to April 2014 as part of the European Survey on Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (EuSCAPE) project. Klebsiella pneumonia carbapenemase-producing K. pneumoniae (KPC-KP) represented 178 (93%) isolates with 76 (4...
متن کاملNew Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase 1-producing Enterobacteriaceae: emergence and response in Europe.
Acquired carbapenemases confer extensive antibiotic resistance to Enterobacteriaceae and represent a public health threat. A novel acquired carbapenemase, New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase 1 (NDM-1), has recently been described in the United Kingdom and Sweden, mostly in patients who had received care on the Indian subcontinent. We conducted a survey among 29 European countries (the European Uni...
متن کاملAntibacterial and Antibiofilm Activity of Grape Seed Extract Against Carbapenem Resistant and Biofilm Producer Enterobacteriaceae
Background and objectives: Carbapenem-resistant and biofilm producing Enterobacteriaceaeare a major health problem. This study was carried to determine the antibacterial and antibiofilm activity of grape seed extract (GSE) against carbapenem-resistant and biofilm producing Enterobacteriaceae isolates. Methods: Antibiotics susceptibility pattern...
متن کاملMolecular Detection and Subtyping of New Delhi Metallobetalactamases (NDM-1) in Clinical Isolates of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae in a Tertiary Care Hospital, South India
During the past decade, there has been an emergence of carbapenems-resistant Enterobacteriaceae that produce carbapenamases, enzymes that efficiently hydrolyze carbapenems, as well as most βlactam drugs (Queenan et al., 2007). New Delhi Metallo-beta-lactamases-1 (NDM-1) are one such carbapenamase that makes bacteria resistant to a broad range of betalactam antibiotics. These include the antibio...
