Bloodstream infections (BSIs) represent a serious clinical problem worldwide, associated
with a notable burden on the healthcare system and high mortality rates, exacerbated by the …

Acinetobacter baumannii is a major cause of hospital-acquired infections and among the top
five pathogens associated with mortality. 1 Due to its ability to rapidly acquire antimicrobial …

The immunochromatographic assay RESIST ACINETO (Coris BioConcept) was evaluated
on a collection of 121 Acinetobacter spp. clinical isolates, including 104 carbapenemase …

Sir, Acinetobacter spp. are Gram-negative non-fermenters able to persist and spread in the
environment owing to their capacity to survive on dry surfaces under limited nutritional …

Abstract The Resist Acineto from Coris Bioconcept is a novel immunochromatographic test
for detection of the major acquired carbapenemases (OXA-23, OXA-40, OXA-58, and NDM) …

Objectives Accurate and fast identification of carbapenemase producers is essential for
optimal patient management. Here, a new lateral flow immunochromatographic RESIST-4 K …

The Acinetobacter genus comprises many closely related species, including those
belonging to the Acinetobacter calcoaceticus-baumannii (ACB) complex (eg, A. baumannii …

Sir, Distinct clonal lineages of Acinetobacter baumannii that produce OXA carbapenemases
have successfully disseminated in hospitals worldwide. 1 In contrast, there are few reports …

Various carbapenem hydrolysis methods allow detection of carbapenemase activity but do
not differentiate between the carbapenemase families. 1 Inhibitor-based tests can help with …

Sir, The emergence and dissemination of carbapenemases (KPC, VIM, IMP, NDM or OXA-
48) among Enterobacteriaceae is a serious concern worldwide as it raises the problem of …
