prevalence of metalo- β-lactamase-producing (mbl) acinetobacter species in a tertiary care hospital.
background and objectives: acinetobacter causes a wide variety of illness in debilitated and hospitalized patients. carbapenem resistance in acinetobacter is an emerging problem and is a cause of concern as many nosocomial infections with acinetobacter are resistant to most other antibiotics. the present study was aimed to study metallo-β-lactamase (mbl) production in acinetobacter species. mat...
Background & Objectives: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a common cause of nosocomial infection. OprD protein is a specific protein regulating the uptake of carbapenem antibiotic. Loss of OprD is the main mechanism of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa resistance to carbapenem. In this study, the presence of OprD gene is investigated in isolated Pseudomonas Aeruginosa in burn patients of Ghotboddin hospital in S...
conclusions the results of this study indicated that a decrease in oprd gene expression is an important mechanism of resistance in carbapenem resistant pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from severe burn patients with secondary infection. results our study showed that 94.2% of the isolates were resistant to imipenem, 99.5% to meropenem, and all were resistant to ertapenem. the oprd gene expression...
background pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen mostly affecting hospitalized and immunodeficient patients. considering the extent of attention paid to the issue of antibiotic resistance and the origin of such resistance and the growing number of treatment failures in patients with burn injury, it seems that investigating the degree of ampc gene expression could be beneficial for...
In the United States, the most prevalent mechanism of carbapenem resistance among Enterobacteriaceae is the production of a Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC). KPC-producing isolates often exhibit a range of carbapenem MICs. To better understand the factors that contribute to overall carbapenem resistance, we analyzed 27 KPC-producing K. pneumoniae isolates with different levels of carba...
We evaluated the number of deaths attributable to carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae by using studies from around the world published before April 9, 2012. Attributable death was defined as the difference in all-cause deaths between patients with carbapenem-resistant infections and those with carbapenem-susceptible infections. Online databases were searched, and data were qualitatively syn...
BACKGROUND National surveillance of antimicrobial resistance becomes more important for the control of antimicrobial resistance and determination of treatment guidelines. We analyzed Korean Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System (KARMS) data collected from 2013 to 2015. METHODS Of the KARMS participants, 16 secondary or tertiary hospitals consecutively reported antimicrobial resistance ra...
The emergence of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa in the lung of a patient with cystic fibrosis was evaluated. A single strain of P. aeruginosa persisted during a 3-year study despite antipseudomonal treatment. A stepwise decrease in carbapenem susceptibility leading to resistance was observed in the absence of carbapenem treatment. These data suggest that chronic exposure to unrelat...
OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to identify carbapenem-resistant organisms using routinely collected local microbiology data and describe the epidemiology of carbapenem resistance in two London teaching hospitals. METHODS Data on inpatients infected or colonized with Gram-negative organisms between March 2009 and February 2012 were extracted. A computer algorithm was developed inco...
OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to determine the association between ertapenem and antipseudomonal carbapenem use and carbapenem resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa in 12 hospitals in Queensland, Australia. METHODS Data on usage of ertapenem and other antipseudomonal carbapenems, measured in defined daily doses per 1000 occupied bed-days, were collated using statewide pharmacy dis...
