Abstract Background Carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative organisms (CRGNO) are a growing threat. We aimed in our study to determine the genotype of carbapenemases at Beni-Suef University Hospital by using newly introduced lateral flow assays comparison with molecular techniques and test effectiveness ceftazidime/avibactam against them. Methods Screening for carbapenemase production was done mSupe...

Multidrug-resistant (MDR) Klebsiella pneumoniae is increasing worldwide with poorly characterised epidemiology in many parts of the world, particularly Africa. This study aimed to investigate molecular K. pneumoniae, identify diversity sequence types (ST), and detect carbapenem resistance genes major regional hospitals Khartoum, Sudan. isolates (n = 117) were cultured from four April 2015 Octob...

Abstract Background: Carbapenem resistance in K. pneumoniae have been reported to emerge developing and developed countries. Studies on molecular detection of gene Imipenem resistant isolated from urine patients with suspected Urinary tract infection General Hospital, Keffi, Nigeria. was carried out. Methods: A total two hundred ten (210) samples were collected identified using standard microbi...

We aimed to investigate the clonal relationships, common sequence types, and carbapenemase genes in 177 non-repetitive blood culture isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii collected from patients at three university hospitals Turkey 2016. Molecular epidemiological characteristics were examined using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), multilocus typing (MLST) (Pasteur scheme-cpn60, fusA, gltA...

Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii has been considered one of the major threats to patients worldwide. To evaluate carbapenemase in several clinical isolates using phenotypic and genotypic approaches. A total 49 A. were tested against imipenem meropenem discs on Muller Hinton agar, then screened phenotypically through modified Hodge test (MHT), combined disc (CDT) carbapenem inactivat...

We report the emergence of VIM-1 MBL and CTX-M-15-producing K. pneumoniae isolates collected from patients at two acute care hospitals (I.R.C.C.S. "S. Matteo" and "Casa Sollievo della Sofferenza" Hospital) and a long-term rehabilitation facility in Northern Italy (I.R.C.C.S. "S. Maugeri"). Between February 2007 and October 2008, 30 K. pneumoniae strains showing decreased susceptibility to carba...
