Summary: Infections caused by multidrug-resistant Gram-negative organisms, especially those producing carbapenemase, pose a global threat. It is crucial to identify the type of carbapenemase present in the isolate to optimize therapy.

Clinical and Microbiological Characterization of Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriales: A Prospective Cohort Study

Qiuxia Lin et al.

Summary: In Chongqing, China, the study revealed that CRE infections were associated with high mortality rates and poor outcomes, with CPE patients more likely to exhibit antibiotic resistance. Independent predictors for CPE infection were ICU admission and hepatobiliary system diseases. Although there was no significant difference in desirability of outcome ranking (DOOR) outcomes between the two groups, CPE patients had prolonged ICU stays.

Jingjing Chen et al.

Summary: This study revealed a rapid increase in the detection rate of CREC over a ten-year period, with high resistance rates to imipenem and meropenem but high sensitivity to tigecycline, polymyxin B, and amikacin. Molecular epidemiology showed ST93 as the predominant sequence type, with NDM-1 and NDM-5 as the main carbapenemase-encoding genes.

Characterization of resistance mechanisms of Enterobacter cloacae Complex co-resistant to carbapenem and colistin

Shixing Liu et al.

Summary: This study found that the resistance mechanisms of carbapenem-resistant and colistin-resistant ECC strains do not overlap, but the presence of ECC strains carrying multiple resistance genes may pose a potential risk for the spread of carbapenem and colistin resistance.

Shixing Liu et al.

Summary: The study revealed that carbapenem-nonsusceptible ECC strains producing non-carbapenemase were predominant, and their resistance mechanisms were clarified. In addition, the overexpression of efflux pump was also associated with carbapenem resistance. The MLST results demonstrated the genetic diversity of ECC strains.

Revisiting Species Identification within the Enterobacter cloacae Complex by Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization-Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry

Alexandre Godmer et al.

Summary: MALDI-TOF MS is commonly used in clinical microbiology labs for pathogen identification, but faces limitations, especially in uncertain identification of ECC species like E. hormaechei. By utilizing an online database combined with high-performance MSI software, substantial improvements in species-level identification of ECC isolates can be achieved.
