Occurrence and Characterization of NDM-1-Producing Shewanella spp. and Acinetobacter portensis Co-Harboring tet(X3) in a Chinese Dairy Farm

Ruichao Li et al.

Summary: Carbapenem and tigecycline resistance genes have been spreading widely among humans, animals, and the environment. This study investigated the presence of these resistance genes in Shewanella and Acinetobacter species from a dairy farm in China. The findings indicate the existence of clonal dissemination and the transmission of resistance genes through plasmids.

Dissemination of blaNDM-5 via IncX3 plasmids in carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae among humans and in the environment in an intensive vegetable cultivation area in eastern China

Qian Zhao et al.

Summary: The study identified antibiotic-resistant bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae in the environment of large-scale vegetable production areas, posing potential transmission risks. Particularly, feces and hands of farmers may play a role in the dissemination of antibiotic-resistant 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.
