Epidemiology, risk factors, and prediction score of carbapenem resistance among inpatients colonized or infected with 3rd generation cephalosporin resistant Enterobacterales
In this study, we determined the incidence and risk factors of Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) acquisition in inpatients with 3rd generation cephalosporin-resistant (3GCR) Enterobacterales at a tertiary-care hospital in Lebanon, and suggested a risk prediction score for it. This is a retrospective matched case-control study of inpatients with 3GCR Enterobacterales that are carbapenem resistant (cases) versus those with carbapenem-sensitive isolates (controls). Data analysis was...

Lactococcus lactis bacteraemia in a patient on probiotic supplementation therapy
A 59-year-old woman presented with fever and malaise and was found to have Lactococcus lactis bacteraemia. L. lactis infection is rare in humans with few reported cases, with most associated with dairy food product ingestion. The patient reported use of a multistrain over-the-counter probiotic supplement. After isolation of L. lactis from blood culture, the patient was treated empirically with ertapenem and amoxicillin and displayed clinical improvement. She remained well after completion of...

High incidence of multi-drug resistance and heterogeneity of mobile genetic elements in Escherichia coli isolates from diseased ducks in Sichuan province of China
Harmonious ecological environment is a major concern with rising feeding and consumption of ducks, as these waterfowl birds can promote the spread of antibiotic resistant genes (ARGs). Therefore, this study was conducted to know diversity of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), integrons, and mobile genetic elements (MGEs) in Escherichia coli (E. coli) isolated from intestinal contents or pericardial effusion of diseased ducks from 2018 to 2020 in Sichuan, China. The AMR phenotype was determined via...

mCIM test as a reliable assay for the detection of CRE in the Gulf region
Introduction. Carbapenem resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) are one of the leading causes of systemic and nosocomial infections and are multidrug-resistant organisms producing different carbapenemases. There are many genotypic and phenotypic methods for detecting the carbapenemases; however, there is a limitation for each. Modified carbapenem inactivation method (mCIM) assay is a recent phenotypic method which has been published by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute.Hypothesis / Gap...

Nationwide surveillance of antimicrobial resistance in invasive isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae in Taiwan from 2017 to 2019
CONCLUSION: Empirical treatment with ceftriaxone monotherapy for pneumococcal meningitis should be carefully monitored owing to its high non-susceptibility rate. The susceptibility rates of most isolates to penicillin (used for treating non-meningitis pneumococcal diseases), carbapenems (ertapenem and doripenem), respiratory quinolones (moxifloxacin and levofloxacin), vancomycin, and linezolid suggested the potential of these antibiotics in treating pneumococcal diseases in Taiwan.

Genomic Investigation of Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumonia Colonization in an Intensive Care Unit in South Africa
The study investigated carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (CPKP) isolates of patients in an intensive care unit (ICU) in a public hospital in the KwaZulu-Natal province, South Africa using whole-genome sequencing (WGS). Ninety-seven rectal swabs, collected from all consenting adult patients (n = 31) on days 1, 3, and 7 and then weekly, were screened for carbapenemase-production using Chrome-ID selective media. Antibiotic susceptibility was determined for the fourteen positive...

Antimicrobial Resistance in Nosocomial Isolates of Gram-Negative Bacteria: Public Health Implications in the Latvian Context
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the most serious threats in modern medicine which requires the constant monitoring of emerging trends amongst clinical isolates. However, very limited surveillance data is available in the Latvian context. In the present study, we conducted a retrospective analysis of microbiological data from one of the largest public multispecialty hospitals in Latvia from 2017 to 2020. AMR trends for 19 gram-negative bacterial (GNB) genera were investigated. During the...

Multidrug-Resistant Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase-Producing Escherichia coli Pathotypes in North Eastern Region of India: Backyard Small Ruminants-Human-Water Interface
A total of 648 diarrheagenic Escherichia coli (DEC) were isolated from calves (n = 219), lambs (n = 87), kids (n = 103), human (n = 193), and water (n = 46) samples. The presence of enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC), enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC), and shigatoxigenic E. coli (STEC) was confirmed by PCR-based detection of the Shiga toxin, intimin, hemolysin, and enterotoxin genes. All the isolates were tested for antimicrobial resistance (AMR) by disc diffusion assay. Extended-spectrum β-lactamase...

Utility of Silver-nanoparticles for Nano Spectrofluorimetric Determination of Meropenem and Ertapenem: Bio-analytical Validation
Bio-analytical, nano-quantitative spectrofluorimetric estimation of two non-classical β-lactam antibiotics; meropenem (MP) and ertapenem (EP) is presented. The method is based on the enhancement of the fluorescence intensity of MP-Eu^(3+)/EP-Eu^(3+) with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). AgNPs were synthesized and characterized by UV and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The plasmon resonance produced an intense absorption maximum at 398.0 nm. TEM micrograph showed the particle morphology with...

A Sequence Type 23 Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae Strain Presenting Carbapenem Resistance by Acquiring an IncP1 bla KPC-2 Plasmid
Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae strains are typically associated with severe infections and susceptible to most antimicrobial agents. In 2017, a carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent K. pneumoniae (CR-hvKP) strain was isolated from the sputum of a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patient in Zhejiang, China. The goal of the present study was to characterize the molecular features of the CR-hvKP isolate ZJ27003 and its bla (KPC-2)-harboring plasmid p27003_KPC. Antimicrobial...

The role of combination therapy in the treatment of severe infections caused by carbapenem resistant gram-negatives: a systematic review of clinical studies
CONCLUSION: The existing evidence is insufficient to allowing for the formulation of any evidence-based therapeutic recommendation for CR-GNB sepsis. Future studies must provide a standardized definition of antibiotic regimen to drive recommendations for using combination of antibiotics that can be reliably applied to clinical practice.

Molecular epidemiology of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales in Thailand, 2016-2018
CONCLUSION: CP genes were found in a high proportion (97%) of CRE isolates from hospitals across Thailand. The prevalence of NDM and OXA-48-like genes in Thailand is consistent with pattern seen in Southeast Asia, but different from that in the United States and other regions. As carbapenemase testing is not routinely performed in Thailand, hospital staff should consider treating all patients with CRE with enhanced infection control measures; in line with CDC recommendation for enhanced...

Patterns of antibiotic use in hospital-acquired infections
CONCLUSIONS: This study provides a baseline of antimicrobial use in relation to microbiological information in patients with the most common HAIs. These results can serve to direct future efforts in antimicrobial stewardship. Our work could be extended to a broader population, notably in Europe where similar surveys have been conducted.

Microbiological efficiency of the combinations of two carbapenems against antibiotic resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae strains
Combined antibiotic therapy is widely used for infections caused by carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae. The objective of this work was to identify the synergistic activity of combinations of two carbapenems against multidrug- and extensively drug-resistant K. pneumoniae strains producing various types of carbapenemases. For 60 antibiotic-resistant K. pneumoniae strains isolated in 8 cities of Belarus, the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of colistin and carbapenems were determined by...

Aggressive Presentation of Streptococcus constellatus
The Streptococcus anginosus group (SAG) consists of three bacteria (Streptococcus intermedius, Streptococcus constellatus, and Streptococcus anginosus) that are known commensals of the upper respiratory, digestive, and reproductive tracts. While a rare occurrence, these bacteria have the capability of causing devastating pyogenic infections and ensuing abscess formations. It is often difficult to distinguish this group as a contaminant or the offending organism (as it is often cultured in...
