Multilocus sequence ty** reveals that many bacterial species have a clonal structure and
that some clones are widespread. This underlying phylogeny was not revealed by pulsed …

Carbapenemase-producing bacteria have now spread all over the world. Infections caused
by those bacteria are difficult to treat. Therefore, there is an urgent need for accurate and fast …

A rapid and reliable PCR-based technique was developed for detection of genes encoding
carbapenemases belonging to different classes. Primers were designed to amplify the …

Objectives To develop a rapid and reliable tool to detect by multiplex PCR assays the most
frequently widespread β-lactamase genes encoding the OXA-1-like broad-spectrum β …

Objectives We have investigated the molecular epidemiology and distribution of
carbapenemase genes in 492 imipenem-non-susceptible Acinetobacter baumannii …

ABSTRACT A new variant of the New Delhi metallo-enzyme (NDM) carbapenemase was
identified in a multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli ST648 isolate recovered from the …

One of the currently most relevant resistance mechanisms in Enterobacteriaceae is the
production of enzymes that lead to modern expanded-spectrum cephalosporin and even …

Carbapenems are administered as the final drug of choice for treating complicated
nosocomial infections caused by multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii strains. It is …

Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate relatedness and molecular mechanism
(s) of ertapenem resistance in clinical isolates of Klebsiella spp.(n= 28) and Enterobacter …

Background Colistin resistance is mainly driven by alterations in the Gram-negative outer
membrane lipopolysaccharides and is caused, in most cases, by mutations in mgrB gene …
