Background: Diabetic foot infection (DFI) is an in soft tissue or bone patient with diabetes mellitus, Citrobacter species are infrequent nosocomial pathogens and cause a range of infections. the aim current study we report isolation carbapenem genes among isolated from DFI. Methods: about 111 swabs specimen were collection suspected DFI during period study, determine antibiotic susceptibility ...

We investigated the presence of carbapenemases in carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates, which were collected over a 14-month period Turkish hospital, with in-depth molecular characterization carbapenemase-producing isolates. Among 45 study 2 isolates identified as carbapenemase producers by both Carba NP and Carbapenem Inactivation Method tests, only 1 them gave positive result ...

pseudomonas aeruginosa is among the most important pathogens in the nosocomial infections. a genetic mobile element, the integron, is one of the major agents involved in dissemination of multi-drug resistance among gram negative bacteria. during a descriptive study from october 2009 to august 2010, some 130 p. aeruginosa clinical isolates were collected from different wards of three hospitals i...

Real-time PCR testing for blaKPC, blaNDM, blaVIM, blaIMP, and blaCTX-M was performed on rectal swabs obtained from residents of two long-term acute-care facilities. While blaKPC was detected in 69/102 swabs (67.6%), testing for four other targets increased the positivity rate for a broad-spectrum β-lactamase to 73.5% (McNemar's P = 0.03).

Pseudomonas strain WCHP16 recovered from hospital sewage in West China Hospital, Chengdu, China was found to carry two carbapenemase genes blaIMP-25 and blaVIM-2 Here, we report its 5.7-Mb draft genome sequence, comprising 141 contigs and an average 59.53% G+C content. The genome contained 5,504 coding sequences and 67 tRNA genes.

Providencia stuartii is frequently associated with nosocomial outbreaks and displays intrinsic resistance to many commonly used antimicrobials. We report here the draft genome sequence of a P. stuartii strain carrying acquired resistance genes conferring panresistance to cephalosporins (blaSHV-5 and blaVEB-1), carbapenems (blaVIM-1), and aminoglycosides (rmtB) involved in an outbreak in Greek h...

During the last years, outbreaks and countrywide spread of isolates producing -lactamases of the AmpC type or carbapenemases have been reported (1, 2). We detected three Proteus mirabilis isolates with reduced susceptibility to cephalosporins and carbapenems at the Alexandrovska University Hospital in Sofia. They were isolated between November 2011 and January 2012 from the urine of three patie...

BACKGROUND Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder in white populations caused by mutation in a gene that encodes Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR) protein. Since frequent respiratory tract infections are the major problem in patients with CF, obligation to identify the causative bacteria and determining their antibiotic resistance pattern is cru...
