Rapid emergence of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae isolates in Belgium.

چکیده
We report on the evolution and epidemiology of carbapenem non-susceptible Enterobacteriaceae (CNSE) including carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) in Belgium between January 2007 and April 2011. Significantly higher numbers of CNSE and of CPE were detected in 2010 and 2011 compared to the years 2007 to 2009. The majority of patients carrying CPE did not have history of travel abroad. The rapid emergence of autochthonous CPE strains in Belgium since 2010 warrants strengthened epidemiological surveillance at national level.

Increasing proportion of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae and emergence of a MCR-1 producer through a multicentric study among hospital-based and private laboratories in Belgium from September to November 2015
Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) strains have been increasingly reported in Belgium. We aimed to determine the proportion of CPE among Enterobacteriaceae isolated from hospitalised patients and community outpatients in Belgium in 2015. For the hospitalised patients, the results were compared to a previous similar survey performed in the same hospitals in 2012. Twenty-four hospit...
متن کاملDetection of carbapenemase-producing bacteria by using an ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method.
The emergence of carbapenemase-producing bacteria poses a new challenge in the management of antibiotic therapies for patients. This report describes a new method using ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) for rapid detection of carbapenemase activity in enterobacteria, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Acinetobacter baumannii. In a panel of 78 isolates, inclu...
متن کاملUtility of a novel chromogenic medium as a screening method in the detection of carbapenemase producing Enterobacteriaceae
INTRODUCTION With the emergence of multidrug resistant Gram-negative bugs, there is an urgent need for rapid detection of these resistant organisms. AIM This study was performed to assess the utility of a novel chromogenic medium in the detection of carbapenemase producing Enterobacteriaceae from various clinical specimens. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 202 isolates of Enterobacteriaceae...
متن کاملEmergence of blaNDM-7–Producing Enterobacteriaceae in Gabon, 2016
Reports of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae in Africa remain rare and assess mostly blaOXA-48-producing isolates from Mediterranean countries and South Africa. We identified blaNDM-7-producing Enterobacteriaceae in Gabon in 2016. The isolates contained blaNDM-7 IncX3 plasmids that were unusual and similar to the one described in a colistin-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae SZ04 isolate ...
متن کاملDevelopment and Validation of a Lateral Flow Immunoassay for Rapid Detection of NDM-Producing Enterobacteriaceae
The global spread of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) that are often resistant to most, if not all, classes of antibiotics is a major public health concern. The NDM-1 carbapenemase is among the most worrisome carbapenemases given its rapid worldwide spread. We have developed and evaluated a lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) (called the NDM LFIA) for the rapid and reliable detectio...
