OBJECTIVES Carbapenem-hydrolysing class D β-lactamases of the OXA-48 type are increasingly reported from Enterobacteriaceae. β-Lactamase OXA-48 hydrolyses penicillins very efficiently, but carbapenems only weakly and spares broad-spectrum cephalosporins. Recently, diverse OXA-48-like β-lactamases have been identified worldwide (OXA-162, OXA-181, OXA-163, OXA-204 and OXA-232). They differ by few...
BACKGROUND In haematology/oncology units, the frequent and heavy use of broad-spectrum antimicrobials can lead to outbreaks of antimicrobial resistance. Increasing antimicrobial heterogeneity might be a useful strategy for preventing such resistance. METHODS A real-time antimicrobial use density (AUD) monitoring system (RAMS) was developed to precisely assess antimicrobial heterogeneity. This...
BACKGROUND The effectiveness of piperacillin-tazobactam (PTZ) for the treatment of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) bacteremia is controversial. We compared 14-day mortality of PTZ vs carbapenems as empiric therapy in a cohort of patients with ESBL bacteremia who all received definitive therapy with a carbapenem. METHODS Patients hospitalized between January 2007 and April 2014 with monom...
BACKGROUND Data on the relative efficacy of β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitors (BL/BLIs) versus carbapenems are scant. METHODS This is a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing any BL/BLI versus any carbapenem for the treatment of sepsis. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality. A broad search was conducted with no restrictions on language, public...
OBJECTIVE Antimicrobial stewardship programs have been proposed for reducing bacterial resistance in the hospital environment. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of a carbapenem-use stewardship program on the susceptibility of Acinetobacter baumannii to Group 2 carbapenems. METHODS A before and after intervention study was conducted at a university hospital from September...
Antibiotic resistance is one of the greatest public-health challenges worldwide, especially with regard to Gram-negative bacteria (GNB). Carbapenems are β-lactam antibiotics choice broadest spectrum activity and, in many cases, last-resort treatment for several bacterial infections. Carbapenemase-encoding genes, mainly carried by mobile genetic elements, main mechanism against carbapenems GNB. ...
In this review, we summarize the current “state of art” carbapenem antibiotics and their role in our antimicrobial armamentarium. Among beta-lactams currently available, carbapenems are unique because they relatively resistant to hydrolysis by most beta-lactamases. Herein, described cost effectiveness, safety, advantages as compared other antibiotics. We also highlight important features that p...
OXA-48-type carbapenem-hydrolysing class D β-lactamases are increasingly reported in enterobacterial species. To date, six OXA-48-like variants have been identified, with OXA-48 being the most widespread. They differ by a few amino acid substitutions or deletions (one to five amino acids). The enzymes hydrolyse penicillins at a high level and carbapenems at a low level, sparing broad-spectrum c...
