KPC-Like Carbapenemase-Producing Enterobacteriaceae Colonizing Patients in Europe and Israel.
نویسندگان
چکیده
In a 2008-2011 survey, 17,945 patients in 18 hospital units in Europe and Israel were screened for carriage of Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC)-producing Enterobacteriaceae, resulting in identification of 124 positive patients. The isolates were dominated by Klebsiella pneumoniae sequence type 258 (ST258) KPC-2 and ST512 KPC-3, mainly from Greece and Italy, respectively, whereas Israeli isolates were of diverse species, clones, and KPC variants. Various blaKPC platforms were observed, among which IncFIIK-FIBK plasmids with blaKPC-2/-3 genes in the Tn4401a transposon prevailed.

Evaluation of CHROMagar™ KPC for the detection of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae in rectal surveillance cultures.
In this study, the performance of the chromogenic medium CHROMagar™ KPC was evaluated and was compared with in-house-daily prepared McConkey agar plates supplemented with imipenem (1 mg/L) for the detection of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae. In this surveillance study, rectal swabs were cultured on both media and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for bla(KPC) and bla(VIM) was used to ...

متن کامل363Persistence of the Klebsiella pneumoniae Sequence Type 258 as the Predominant Clone of Carbapenemase-Producing Enterobacteriaceae in Post-Acute Care Facilities in Israel, 2008-2013
Background. We aimed to study the molecular characteristics and clonal structure of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae(CPE) in post-acute care facilities (PACF’s) in Israel and to analyze the temporal changes that have occurred between 2008 and 2013. Methods. The prevalence of CPE carriage in PACF’s in Israel was determined in two point prevalence national surveys done in 2008 and 2013....
متن کاملArrival of Klebsiella pneumoniae producing KPC carbapenemase in the United Kingdom.
BACKGROUND KPC-type carbapenemases are increasingly prevalent in parts of the USA and Israel and are an emerging concern in South America, Europe and China. We investigated the UK's first two KPC-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates. METHODS The isolates were referred to the UK's national reference laboratory for confirmation of carbapenem resistance. Susceptibilities were determined by a...
