Detection of diverse carbapenem and multidrug resistance genes and high-risk strain types among carbapenem non-susceptible clinical isolates of target gram-negative bacteria in Kenya

Lillian Musila et al.

Summary: Carbapenem-resistant gram-negative bacteria pose a significant clinical threat globally. A study in Kenya identified various carbapenem-resistant strains in different counties, showing resistance to beta-lactam drugs and varying susceptibility to other antibiotics. High-risk sequence types were also identified, highlighting the urgent need for carbapenem use regulation and containment of these bacteria.

Emerging Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae Infection, Its Epidemiology and Novel Treatment Options: A Review

Mihret Tilahun et al.

Summary: Infections due to multidrug-resistant Enterobacteriaceae have become a major global public health issue, with transmission facilitated by inappropriate antimicrobial use and increased global connectivity. Carbapenems, the current medications of choice, are facing increasing resistance globally, necessitating the search for alternative treatment options. Ceftazidime-avibactam is currently the most common treatment option, with other novel drugs under trial for different populations. Treatment should be tailored to patient susceptibility, infection type, and personal characteristics.

Emergence of Colistin and Carbapenem Resistance in Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase Producing Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolated from Chickens and Humans in Egypt

Walid Elmonir et al.

Summary: The study investigated the frequency and types of ESBL and carbapenemase-producing K. pneumoniae in hospitalized patients, poultry, workers, and environment in Egypt. The findings revealed a high prevalence of beta-lactamase genes, carbapenemase genes, and the mcr-1 gene in isolates from various sources, indicating a potential public health threat that requires stricter antimicrobial use in chicken farms to prevent the spread of resistant strains.

Detection of NDM-1 and VIM Genes in Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolates from a Tertiary Health-Care Center in Kathmandu, Nepal

Sabita Thapa et al.

Summary: Klebsiella pneumoniae is a common cause of nosocomial infections, and the resistance to carbapenems, the last resort antibiotics, is increasing due to the production of carbapenemase. This study aimed to detect carbapenem-resistant genes bla(NDM-1) and bla(VIM) in K. pneumoniae isolates from clinical specimens. Molecular detection of resistant genes provides better accuracy in identifying antimicrobial resistance and managing the disease clinically.

Deepa Karki et al.

Summary: The study investigated the prevalence of drug-resistance among β-lactamase-producing strains of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae in clinical specimens from a tertiary care centre in Kathmandu, Nepal between March and August 2019. The results revealed high levels of drug resistance and multidrug-resistance among the isolates.
