Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae: Overview of a major public health challenge

Abstract: Bacterial resistance to antibiotics has become a major source of concern for public health. Enterobacteriaceae are among the most common human pathogens, causing community-acquired as well as hospital-acquired infections. Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae have been increasingly reported worldwide since their first identification more than 20 years ago. Three main classes of carbapenemases have been identified: Ambler class A beta-lactamase (KPC), class B (metallo-enzymes), and class D (OXA-48 type). Kleb… Show more

“…Carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (KPC) has sparked interest due to the high antibiotic resistance that causes increased mortality compared to other strains [2,3]. Multiple outbreaks have been reported worldwide that have led to the application of several detection and control strategies [4][5][6]. Colombia was the first country in Latin America to report KPC in 2008, which caused approximately 14 deaths [7].…”

“…NDM карбапенемаза впервые была обнаружена в 2008 г. в штамме K. pneumoniae, полученном из образца мочи пациента из Индии [27]. К 2015 г. она рас-пространилась глобально и была идентифи-цирована у разных видов энтеробактерий, P. aeruginosa, A. baumannii и других менее ви-рулентных видов бактерий [21]. В Санкт-Петербурге почти все полученные к 2013 г. госпитальные КНЧ штаммы K. pneumoniae являлись носителями гена bla NDM-1 [2,9].…”

“…VIM-продуцирующий штамм P. aeruginosa был впер-вые выделен из раны хирургического больно-го в 1997 г. в Италии [18]. К 2005 г. VIM МБЛ распространилась глобально [21]. В России количество штаммов P. aeruginosa, продуциру-ющих МБЛ, увеличилось с 0% в 1999 г. до 28% в 2012 г., причем единственной МБЛ, выяв-ленной у P. aeruginosa в 2012 г. была МБЛ VIM-типа с МИК имипенема 128 мкг/мл и меропе-нема ≥ 32 мкг/мл [7,13].…”

“…Therefore, the application of economical and rapid diagnostic screen tests has increased [5]. Rapid diagnosis of carbapenem-resistant isolates is necessary for taking appropriate precautions against infection during the early period and detection of the treatment procedure [6]. The most commonly used test is the "Carbapenemase Nordmann-Poirel (CarbaNP)" test, which is reported to have 100% sensitivity and specificity.…”
