Phenotypic and Genotypic Characteristics of a Tigecycline-Resistant Acinetobacter pittii Isolate Carrying blaNDM-1 and the Novel blaOXA Allelic Variant blaOXA-1045

Zixuan Ding et al.

Summary: In this study, we isolated and characterized a tigecycline-resistant Acinetobacter pittii clinical strain carrying multiple antibiotic resistance genes. Whole-genome investigation revealed horizontal transfer of these resistance genes, including the discovery of two novel bla(OXA) genes, bla(OXA-1045) and bla(OXA-213). The strain exhibited differences in chromosomal composition and biofilm formation. Additionally, the expression levels of RND efflux pump-related genes were found to be correlated with tigecycline resistance.

Summary: The study showed that combination therapy with high-dose sulbactam and additional antibacterial agents had promising efficacy in treating MDR-AB or XDR-AB infections, while colistin-based combinations remained the mainstay in most studies. However, colistin combined with other antibacterial agents was associated with a higher risk of nephrotoxicity.

Rapid Detection of New Delhi Metallo-β-Lactamase Gene Using Recombinase-Aided Amplification Directly on Clinical Samples From Children

Yanling Feng et al.

Summary: The New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase (NDM) gene confers resistance to most beta-lactam antibiotics, making it crucial to detect this gene in children's clinical samples. The use of the recombinase-aided amplification (RAA) assay successfully identified bla(NDM) genes in children's stool samples, with some samples also testing positive for carbapenem-resistant bacteria. The presence of bla(NDM) and multidrug resistance genes poses significant challenges for pediatric treatment.
