M utations of the KCNJ11 gene are a common cause of permanent neonatal diabetes (PNDM) (1,2) and sometimes result in other diabetic phenotypes (2). Sulfonylureas (SUs) are effective and safe in most diabetic KCNJ11 mutation carriers (3). However, their application risk is sometimes uncertain. We have previously described glibenclamide use in a pregnant woman with KCNJ11-related PNDM (4); for th...

OBJECTIVE Two plasmids carrying blaNDM-1 isolated from carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-KP) and carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli (CR-EC) were sequenced. CR-KP and CR-EC were isolated from two Taiwanese patients without travel histories. METHODS Complete sequencing of the plasmids (pLK75 and pLK78) was conducted using a shotgun approach. Annotation of the contigs was perform...

Results The age at diagnosis was between 0.5 and 5 month, the median was 3 month. 7 cases (58.3%) were SGA. Infection occurred in 7 cases, 4 cases with convulsion and 8 cases with ketoacidosis. The mean HbA1c at diagnosis was 10.0% (7.4%~13.7%). Insulin treatment was started in all 12 patients, the initial dose was 1.0~1.2IU/kg/d, 6 cases were treated with glyburide after the acute phase, only ...

Emergence of New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae has become a challenging threat to public health. Two carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli, strain QD28 and QD29, were recovered from the aspirating sputum of a neonate and the urine of an adult in a Chinese hospital in 2013. Molecular typing revealed that both isolates belonged to the sequence type 167, but they were clon...
