In this multicentric study performed in 12 French hospitals, we reported that 26.9% (14/52) of the amoxicillin/clavulanate-resistant
Proteus mirabilis
isolates produced the OXA-23 carbapenemase. We found that inhibition zone diameter less than 11 mm around amoxicillin/clavulanate disc was an accurate screening cut-off to detect these OXA-23 producers. We confirmed by whole genome sequencing that these OXA-23-producers all belonged to the same lineage that has been demonstrated to disseminate OXA-23 or OXA-58 in
P. mirabilis
.
The manuscript describes the emergence of clonal linezolid-resistant strains of
Staphylococcus epidermidis
(LR-MDRSE) isolated from patients presenting with bone and joint infections. Incidence of LR-MDRSE increased over the study period.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
