The emergence of one of the most recently described carbapenemases, namely, the New
Delhi metallo‐lactamase (NDM‐1), constitutes a critical and growingly important medical …

Purpose. Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) have become a global
concern and a serious threat to human health due to their resistance to multiple antibiotics …

The emergence and spread of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) are a
global health problem that is of great concern to public health services (1, 2). The purpose of …

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

Carbapenemases, with versatile hydrolytic capacity against β-lactams, are now an important
cause of resistance of Gram-negative bacteria. The genes encoding for the acquired …

Acquired carbapenemases are emerging resistance determinants in Gram-negative
pathogens, including Enterobacteriaceae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and other Gram …

Aims and Objectives: Carbapenemase production among clinical isolates of
Enterobacteriaceae has been widely reported with prevalence rates ranging from between …

Data on the status of carbapenem-resistant microorganisms in the Middle East countries are
scarce. The aim of this review was to collect available data regarding resistance to …

Clinically-significant Gram-negative species remain mostly Enterobacteriaceae,
Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii. Carbapenem molecules are often …

Aim: The purpose of this study was to characterize the New Delhi metallo-beta lactamase
