New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM) is a metallo-β-lactamase able to hydrolyze almost all
β-lactams. Twenty-four NDM variants have been identified in> 60 species of 11 bacterial …

Surveillance studies have shown that OXA-48-like carbapenemases are the most common
carbapenemases in Enterobacterales in certain regions of the world and are being …

Gram-negative bacteria, especially Enterobacterales, have emerged as major players in
antimicrobial resistance worldwide. Resistance may affect all major classes of anti-gram …

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) represents a growing public health problem worldwide.
Infections with such bacteria lead to longer hospitalization times, higher healthcare costs …

The global spread of antimicrobial resistant (AMR) bacteria represents a considerable public
health concern, yet their detection and identification of their resistance mechanisms remain …

Since the first description of OXA-48, more than forty variants have been recovered from
Enterobacterales isolates. Whereas some OXA-48-related enzymes have been reported as …

Abstract Objectives Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) are a major public-
health threat. The most important mechanism of carbapenem resistance in CRE is …

In Enterobacter cloacae complex (ECC), the overproduction of the chromosome-encoded
cephalosporinase (cAmpC) associated with decreased outer membrane permeability may …

OXA-244, an R214G variant of OXA-48, is silently spreading worldwide likely because of
difficulties in detection using classical screening media. Here, we characterized two clinical …

Background Lateral flow immunoassays (LFIA) have shown their usefulness for detecting
CTX-M-and carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPEs) in bacterial cultures. Here …
