Extensively Drug-Resistant New Delhi Metallo-β-Lactamase–Encoding Bacteria in the Environment, Dhaka, Bangladesh, 2012

چکیده
Carriage of the New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase variant 1 (NDM-1) enables drug resistance to move between communities and hospitals. In Bangladesh, we found the blaNDM-1 gene in 62% of environmental waters and in fermentative and nonfermentative gram-negative bacteria. Escherichia coli sequence type (ST) 101 was most commonly found, reflecting a common global relationship between ST101 and NDM-1.

The emergence of New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase 1 (NDM-1) has become established as a major public health threat and represents a new challenge in the treatment of infectious diseases. In this study, we report a high incidence and endemic spread of NDM-1-producing carbapenem-resistant Enterobacter cloacae isolates in Henan province, China. Eight (72.7%) out of eleven non-duplicated carbapenem-re...

Metallo-β-lactamase-producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MPPA) is an important nosocomial pathogen that shows resistance to all β-lactam antibiotics except monobactams. There are various types of metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) in carbapenem-resistant P. aeruginosa including Imipenemase (IMP), Verona integron-encoded metallo-β-lactamase (VIM), Sao Paulo metallo-β-lactamase (SPM), Germany imipenemase (...

New Delhi Metallo-β-lactamase 1 (NDM-1) is a monomeric, plasmid-encoded enzyme that can hydrolyze β-lactam antibiotics over a wide range. Presence of this enzyme renders the host bacteria immune to carbapenems, the so-called last resort drugs, as reported in Klebsiella pneumonia, Escherichia coli and Acenetobacter baumanii. Multi-drug resistance of nosocomial pathogens as above possess a seriou...
متن کاملFirst identification of a patient colonized with Klebsiella pneumoniae carrying blaNDM-1 in Taiwan.
New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase 1 (NDM-1) is a novel type of metallo-β-lactamase (MBL). Enterobacteriaceae carrying this NDM-1 encoding gene, bla(NDM-1), have been identified worldwide. Bacteria carrying bla(NDM-1) are not only resistant to carbapenem, but also highly resistant to many classes of antibiotics, which indicate the importance of prompt identification of these bacteria and implementat...
