Fifteen isolates with reduced susceptibility to meropenem were obtained from hospital
sewage. They contained blaKPC-2 and belonged to multiple clones of Citrobacter freundii or …

Multiresistant Enterobacteriaceae, like carbapenemase-producing strains, have their
primary reservoir in medical institutions. They can also be found with increasing tendency in …

This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence and genetic characteristics of carbapenemase-
producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) in hospital sewage and river water in the Philippines …

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

Among the 2,105 Enterobacteriaceae tested in a survey done in Portugal, 165 were
nonsusceptible to carbapenems, from which 35 (26 Klebsiella pneumoniae, 3 Escherichia …

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 …

The study shows for the first time the presence of the Klebsiella oxytoca strain fp10
coproducing plasmid-mediated KPC-2 and IMP-8 carbapenemases. The strain was …

Objectives This study identified and characterized mcr-1-positive Enterobacteriaceae
(MCRPE) and carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) in hospital sewage …

During 6 months, we obtained Enterobacteriaceae isolates from patients with gram-negative
bacteremia at a 1,250-bed teaching hospital in St. Louis, MO, and compared carbapenem …

Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) cause health care-associated infections
worldwide, and they are of severe concern due to limited treatment options. We report an …
