Abstract Objectives Long-term care facilities (LTCFs) may act as a reservoir of ESBL-producing Enterobacterales (ESBL-E) and carbapenemase-producing (CPE) for hospitals the general population. In this study, we estimated prevalence molecular epidemiology rectal carriage with ESBL-E CPE in residents Dutch LTCFs between March 2018 December 2018. Methods were geographically selected across country...

The first patient was an 83-year-old man who presented a urinary tract infection caused by E. coli following the urological surgery in December 2015. The E. coli isolate (CDF6) showed resistance to broad-spectrum cephalosporins, and the patient was therefore treated by ertapenem for ten days. The second patient was a 75-year-old man who was admitted for the treatment of an adenocarcinoma in Jan...

Presence of extended spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) in bacteria is a growing health concern of global significance. The local, regional, national, and international epidemiological studies for extended spectrum beta-lactamases-producing Enterobacteriaceae and their encoding genes in foods are still incomplete. The objective of this study was to determine the occurrence of extended spectrum bet...

OBJECTIVE To investigate CTX-M genotypes among extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli (ESBL-EC) isolated from patients with community-onset and hospital-onset infections in China, their clonality and the distribution of CTX-M variants in different specimens of community-onset and hospital-onset infections. METHODS ESBL-EC isolates were collected from general hospitals from 2...

AIM To assess the prevalence of antimicrobial resistance producing extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL) (blaTEM, blaSHV, and blaCTX-M) genes in Escherichia coli isolated from chicken meat, chevon meat, raw milk, and human urine and stool samples collected from tribal districts of Chhattisgarh, viz., Jagdalpur, Dantewada, Kondagaon, and Kanker. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 330 samples, co...

Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is a widespread environmental microorganism (1) that has emerged as a significant opportunistic pathogen (2) due to its intrinsic resistance to almost all available antibiotics. Apart from native -lactamases L1 and L2 (1), acquired extended-spectrum -lactamases (ESBLs) were also identified (3, 4), pointing to S. maltophilia as a potential reservoir. Furthermore, res...

conclusions it was the first report on the blactx-m-15 gene emergence in clinical enterobacter spp. in iran. the current study demonstrated the predominant presence of the gene encoding ctx-m-15 among esbl producing enterobacter spp. commonly with a large plasmid, in the setting. background enterobacter spp. is increasingly recognized as an important nosocomial pathogen and implicated in many e...

CTX-M extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates are infrequently reported in the United States. In this study, we analyzed nonduplicate ESBL-producing K. pneumoniae and Escherichia coli clinical isolates collected during 2005-2012 at a tertiary care medical center in suburban New York City, USA, for the presence of blaCTX-M, blaSHV, blaTEM, and blaKPC genes. ...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the possible occurrence of carbapenemase-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella spp. strains in domestic animals. METHODS Veterinary clinical E. coli (n = 1175) and Klebsiella spp. (n = 136) isolates consecutively collected from livestock and companion animals in Germany from June 2012 to October 2012 were screened for their susceptibility to carbapenems using the ag...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the occurrence of plasmid-mediated fosfomycin resistance genes among Escherichia coli from food animals in China. METHODS A total of 892 E. coli isolates collected from individual pigs (n=368), chickens (n=196), ducks (n=261), geese (n=35), pigeons (n=20) and partridges (n=12) in Guangdong Province during 2002-08 were screened for the presence of fosA3, fosA and fosC...
