1. Mobile genetic elements associated with carbapenemase genes in South American Enterobacterales
ABSTRACT Introduction: Carbapenem resistance in members of order Enterobacterales is a growing public health problem causing high mortality in developing and industrialized countries. Its emergence and rapid propagation worldwide was due to both intercontinental spread of pandemic strains and horizontal dissemination via mobile genetic elements (MGE) such a

3. Infection related to Klebsiella pneumoniae producing carbapenemase in renal transplant patients
ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the risk factors related to Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase infection after renal transplantation. Methods: This was a retrospective epidemiological (case-control) study, conducted from October 2011 to march 2016. Transplanted patients with infection by this bacteria during hospitalization were selected as cases. The con

5. Prevalência de carbapenemases em enterobactérias com sensibilidade diminuída aos carbapenêmicos isoladas em um hospital de referência terciária
RESUMO As infecções causadas por enterobactérias com resistência aos carbapenêmicos são um grave problema de saúde pública. Este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar os mecanismos de resistência relacionados com as enterobactérias com sensibilidade diminuída aos carbapenêmicos isoladas no Hospital Júlia Kubitschek (HJK) da Fundação Hospitalar d

6. Isolation of blaNDM-producing Enterobacteriaceae in a public hospital in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil
ABSTRACT Carbapenemases have great importance in the global epidemiological scenario since infections with carbapenemase-producing bacteria are associated with high mortality, especially in hospitalized patients in intensive care units. This study describes two microorganisms producers of the New Delhi Metallo-b-lactamase, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Citrobact

7. Antimicrobial activity evaluation and comparison of methods of susceptibility for Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC)-producing Enterobacter spp. isolates
Abstract The production of KPC (Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase) is the major mechanism of resistance to carbapenem agents in enterobacterias. In this context, forty KPC-producing Enterobacter spp. clinical isolates were studied. It was evaluated the activity of antimicrobial agents: polymyxin B, tigecycline, ertapenem, imipenem and meropenem, and was pe

8. Detection and analysis of different interactions between resistance mechanisms and carbapenems in clinical isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae
Abstract Carbapenems are considered last-line agents for the treatment of serious infections caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae, and this microorganism may exhibit resistance to β-lactam antibiotics due to different mechanisms of resistance. We evaluated 27 isolates of K. pneumoniae resistant to carbapenems recovered from inpatients at the University Hospital

9. β-lactamase-producing Gram-negative bacteria in an intensive care unit in southern Brazil
ABSTRACT The present study evaluated the antimicrobial susceptibility profile, β-lactamase production, and genetic diversity of Enterobacteriaceae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Acinetobacter spp. using phenotypic identification, antimicrobial susceptibility testing, and β-lactamase phenotypic detection. Isolates were obtained from patients in an intensive c

10. Phenotypic methods for screening carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae and assessment of their antimicrobial susceptibility profile
Abstract INTRODUCTION: In this study, we used phenotypic methods to screen carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CREs) and evaluated their antimicrobial sensitivity profile. METHODS: One hundred and seventy-eight CREs were isolated at a university hospital in south Brazil in a one-year period. Samples were assessed using disk diffusion tests with inhib

11. Antimicrobial resistance in Enterobacteriaceae in Brazil: focus on β-lactams and polymyxins
ABSTRACT During the last 30 years there has been a dissemination of plasmid-mediated β-lactamases in Enterobacteriaceae in Brazil. Extended spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL) are widely disseminated in the hospital setting and are detected in a lower frequency in the community setting. Cefotaximases are the most frequently detected ESBL type and Klebsiella pneum

12. Induction and nosocomial dissemination of carbapenem and polymyxin-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae
INTRODUCTION:Polymyxins are antimicrobial agents capable of controlling carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae infection.METHODS: We report a cluster of four patients colonized or infected by polymyxin-resistant and Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC)-producing K. pneumoniae.RESULTS: Three patients were hospitalized in adjacent wards, and two we
