The wide spread of multidrug-resistant bacteria, particularly carbapenem-resistant Gram-
negative bacteria (CR-GNB), constitutes a major public health threat worldwide, owing to the …

Intensive care units (ICU) for various reasons, including the increasing age of admitted
patients, comorbidities, and increasingly complex surgical procedures (eg, transplants) …

This study aimed to investigate the molecular mechanisms of carbapenem and colistin
resistance in K. pneumoniae and E. coli isolates obtained from hospitalized patients in …

The global emergence and spread of genes responsible for the production of ESBL
(extended-spectrum beta-lactamases) and carbapenemases in Klebsiella pneumoniae …

A novel real-time multiplex PCR assay, BD MAX Check-Points CPO, was evaluated to detect
carbapenemase-producing organisms in clinical settings on the BD MAX system. A total of …

Background: Carbapenem-resistance is frequently detected in Enterobacteriaceae isolated
from patients in Tunisia. The study was performed to identify frequent carbapenemases in …

Introduction: The spread of multidrug-resistant bacteria, particularly carbapenem-resistant
Gram-negative bacilli (CR-GNB), has become a serious challenge for clinicians due to …

Abstract Background Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CREs) are a significant
source of healthcare-associated infections. These bacteria are difficult to treat and have a …

The study determined the prevalence, antimicrobial resistant (AMR) determinants, and
genetic characteristics of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates from patients …

Metallo-β-lactamase (MBL) producing bacteria constitute nowadays a serious global
