Abstract Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CREs) have been recognized as an
important threat to global health. CRE cause the majority of the difficult-to-treat infections in …

Infections caused by carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) are a major
threat to public health. Timely detection of CRKP will help treat patients with appropriate …

Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC)-producing Enterobacteriaceae may display
MICs to carbapenems within susceptible or intermediate ranges, prompting confirmatory …

OBJECTIVE: Enterobacteriaceae bacteria harboring Klebsiella pneumoniae
carbapenemase are a serious worldwide threat. The molecular identification of these …

A fast and reliable protocol using the pyrosequencing technique was developed to identify
11 different types of the KPC enzyme. A total of 65 bla KPC positive bacterial isolates were …

Background: Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) pose a great threat to the
public health sector as a result of its high communicability, high morbidity and mortality rates …

Background We aimed to compare the performance of carbapenemase classification in
carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) obtained using the BD Phoenix CPO …

Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC)-producing Enterobacteriaceae are endemic
in New York City hospitals and have been associated with serious infections globally. A real …

Detection of Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemases (KPCs) can be nonspecific, especially
when KPCs are uncommon. We determined the positive predictive value and specificity of …

Infections caused by carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae spp., especially those that
produce Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC), are associated with a high in …
