In Ghana, surveillance efforts on antibiotic resistance so far have not covered carbapenem
resistance. In this study, our aim was to apply phenotypic and genotypic methods to identify …

Objectives This study aimed to identify carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacteria from
clinical specimens of patients in Yola, Nigeria. Methods Routine clinical specimens were …

Antimicrobial resistance, particularly resistance to carbapenems, has become one of the
major threats to public health. Seventy-two isolates were collected from patients and hospital …

In Ghana, little is known about the nature and spread of carbapenemases in carbapenem-
resistant (CR) pathogens. The aims of the present study were to detect carbapenemase …

To determine the occurrence and molecular basis of carbapenem resistance in Gram-
negative bacteria from tertiary hospitals in Nigeria, 182 non-duplicate Gram-negative …

Background In resource-constrained settings, limited antibiotic options make treating
carbapenem-resistant bacterial infections difficult for healthcare providers. This study aimed …

Introduction Carbapenemases have increasingly been reported in enterobacteriaceae
worldwide. Most carbapenemases are plasmid encoded hence resistance can easily …

Carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative pathogens have progressively disseminated to
different countries worldwide, presenting a serious public health concern. The aims of this …

Background Carbapenem-resistant gram-negative bacteria are an emergent source of both
community-acquired and healthcare-associated infection that poses a substantial hazard to …

Aim To describe the occurrence of carbapenem resistance among multidrug-resistant (MDR)
Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from clinical specimens in Accra using …
