Epidemiology, Phenotypic and Genotypic Characterization of Carbapenem-Resistant Gram-Negative Bacteria from a Libyan Hospital

Khouloud Slimene et al.

Summary: Antimicrobial resistance, especially to carbapenems, poses a major threat to public health. A study conducted in Ibn Sina Hospital in Libya identified low susceptibility to carbapenems among Gram-negative bacteria. Molecular investigations revealed the presence of New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamases-1 and Verona integron-encoded metallo-beta-lactamase enzymes in Pseudomonas spp. Additionally, a new gene and resistance gene were discovered in Acinetobacter baumannii.

Epidemicity and clonal replacement of hypervirulent carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae with diverse pathotypes and resistance profiles in a hospital

Na Tang et al.

Summary: This study collected Klebsiella pneumoniae strains from a hospital for over two years and identified carbapenem-resistant and hypervirulent strains (CR-hvKP) using PCR. Genomic analysis revealed the sequential replacement of three clones of ST11 CR-hvKP in the hospital, with clades A and B acquiring virulence plasmids and clade C acquiring a new integrating conjugative element. Phenotypic experiments showed enhanced virulence potential of the recent epidemic clone from clade B. The emergence of enhanced virulence potential in CR-hvKP highlights the coevolution between hosts and exogenous factors and the need to monitor changes in the virulence characteristics.

Isolation of Carbapenem and Colistin Resistant Gram-Negative Bacteria Colonizing Immunocompromised SARS-CoV-2 Patients Admitted to Some Libyan Hospitals

Khouloud Slimene et al.

Summary: The emergence of carbapenem-resistant bacteria in SARS-CoV-2 patients in eastern Libya highlights the need for increased surveillance and rational use of antibiotics, particularly carbapenems, during the pandemic. Multidrug-resistant strains, including K. pneumoniae, A. baumannii, and colistin-resistant E. coli, were identified, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the efficacy of these antibiotics and minimizing their overuse.

Global burden of bacterial antimicrobial resistance in 2019: a systematic analysis

Christopher J. L. Murray et al.

Summary: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a significant threat to global human health, and this study provides the most comprehensive estimates of AMR burden to date. By estimating deaths and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) associated with bacterial AMR in 204 countries and territories in 2019, the study highlights the impact of resistance and the leading pathogen-drug combinations contributing to it.

Diversity in the Characteristics of Klebsiella pneumoniae ST101 of Human, Environmental, and Animal Origin

Sien De Koster et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the genetic relationship of Klebsiella pneumoniae ST101 strains isolated from hospital samples, environment, community, and livestock using whole genome sequencing. The results showed that hospital-associated strains had higher resistance scores than non-clinical isolates, and the livestock-associated strains exhibited lower pathogenicity potential. Genetic diversity was observed between hospital-associated and healthy individuals' strains, suggesting a low public health risk from livestock strains.

Characterization of NDM-5-producing Enterobacteriaceae isolates from retail grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) and evidence of blaNDM-5- bearing IncHI2 plasmid transfer between ducks and fish

Lu-Chao Lv et al.

Summary: This study characterized NDM-5-producing Enterobacteriaceae from aquatic products in Guangzhou, China, identifying bla(NDM-5) in Citrobacter freundii and Escherichia coli strains on various plasmids. The transfer of bla(NDM-5) between different plasmids was likely facilitated by the Tn7051 transposon, expanding the transmission vectors of this carbapenemase gene.

Minimizing treatment-induced emergence of antibiotic resistance in bacterial infections

Mathew Stracy et al.

Summary: Currently, the treatment of bacterial infections focuses on choosing antibiotics based on the susceptibility of the pathogen, but there is less attention given to the risk of treatment-induced resistance. By using genomic sequencing and machine learning analysis, it is possible to predict and minimize the emergence of resistance at the individual-patient level.

Dissemination of OXA-48-and NDM-1-Producing Enterobacterales Isolates in an Algerian Hospital

Amel Abderrahim et al.

Summary: Multidrug-resistant Enterobacterales, particularly carbapenemase producers, are a growing problem in Algeria. This study investigated the molecular characteristics of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales isolates in Eastern Algeria, revealing the prevalence of carbapenemase-encoding genes such as bla(OXA-48). Clonal expansions of K. pneumoniae and E. coli were observed, and IncM plasmids were found to be predominant. The global dissemination of OXA-48-producing Enterobacterales in Algerian hospitals and the presence of NDM-1-producing E. coli in community settings highlight the importance of investigation and control measures.

Genomic surveillance for multidrug-resistant or hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae among United States bloodstream isolates

Travis J. Kochan et al.

Summary: This study found that both multidrug-resistant high-risk clones and hypervirulent K. pneumoniae isolates are present in bloodstream isolates in the United States. It is particularly concerning that hypervirulent isolates are undergoing community spread in the United States, and these isolates are unrelated to travel history to Asia.

IS26-Mediated Formation of a Hybrid Plasmid mcr-1.1

Renjie Wu et al.

Summary: This study elucidated the characteristics and mechanism of formation of fusion plasmids in Escherichia coli. It was found that the fusion of an mcr-1.1-harboring phage-like pO111 plasmid and an F53:A-:B- plasmid was mediated by IS26. The findings highlighted the role of phage-like and fusion plasmids in the dissemination of mcr-1.1.

Anatomy of an extensively drug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae outbreak in Tuscany, Italy

Melissa J. Martin et al.

Summary: This study conducted genomic analysis of NDM-producing carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae in Tuscany, Italy, finding that the isolates belonged to the high-risk clone ST-147 and shared a recent ancestor with clinical isolates from the Middle East. Additionally, it was discovered that these isolates carried a new plasmid, indicating mutations that confer resistance to multiple antibiotics.

Spread of ESC-, carbapenem- and colistin-resistant Escherichia coli clones and plasmids within and between food workers in Lebanon

Hiba Al-Mir et al.

Summary: Knowledge on the dynamic of MDR Escherichia coli in the human community in low- and middle-income countries is limited. This study in Lebanon revealed a high carriage rate of MDR E. coli (60.7%) and the emergence of carbapenem and colistin resistance in the Lebanese community. The high clonal diversity of MDR E. coli suggests an important dynamic of acquisition and loss of resistance while plasmid transmission was limited.
