BACKGROUND: Organisms expressing Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC) are
found in several regions worldwide but are rarely detected in Canada. The first outbreak of …

ABSTRACT In a 2008-2011 survey, 17,945 patients in 18 hospital units in Europe and Israel
were screened for carriage of Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC)-producing …

Background The aim of this study was to determine the presence of carbapenem resistance
and carbapenemase production in Escherichia coli isolates from clinical samples in Turkey …

We sought to detect and determine the genetic diversity of carbapenemase-producing
Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) isolated from clinical specimens in Amman, Jordan. From five …

A carbapenem-resistant isolate of Escherichia coli was identified that possessed a 23-kb
plasmid encoding Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase type 2 (KPC-2). A subsequent …

Among 228 carbapenem-nonsusceptible Enterobacteriaceae isolated in China, 65 were
carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE). Among them, 41, 22, 1, and 1 …

Summary Background Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) are an
emerging infection control problem in hospitals worldwide. Identifying carriers may help …

Objectives To develop a single multiplex real-time PCR assay to detect six different genetic
types of carbapenemases already identified in Enterobacteriaceae (KPC, GES, NDM, IMP …

Aim: The purpose of the study was to determine the epidemiology of carbapenemase genes
among carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae and evaluate the Carba NP and modified …

Summary Background Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) are emerging
pathogens representing a major concern for public health. In Belgium, the OXA-48 …
