Carbapenemase-producing Gram-negative bacteria in the Russian research center of radiology and surgical technologies

Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobial Chemotherapy. 2017; 19(3):235-242
Objective. To assess an incidence rate of carbapenemase-producing Gram-negative bacteria isolated from patients in the RRCRST. Materials and Methods. The clinical Gram-negative isolates obtained from patients hospitalized to the RRCRST over the period of February 2014 to April 2016 were tested. A screening for carbapenem resistance was performed by culture on chromogenic media, and species identification was made using MALDI-TOF massspectrometry. Susceptibility of Gram-negative bacteria to antimicrobial agents was determined using VITEK-2.

Prevalence of carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates in Belarus and their competitive ability

Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobial Chemotherapy. 2017; 19(2):139-144
Susceptibility to antibiotics was determined for 208 hospital isolates from 4 regions of Belarus. The broad abundance of resistance to carbapenems was shown. The genes of carbapenemases blaNDM, blaOXA-48 and blaKPC were detected in 55 strains from 12 …
