Klebsiella pneumoniae

Objective. To study genetic diversity of Klebsiella pneumoniae strains obtained in the National Medical and Surgical Center named after N.I. Pirogov (Moscow) using next-generation sequencing. Materials and Methods. A total of 19 isolates of K. pneumoniae were included in the study (18 – from patients and 1 – from nosocomial environment). The strains were isolated from January 30 to October 9, 2017 and phenotypically showed multi-drug resistance. DNA sequencing of the strains was performed on the Illumina HiSeq1500 instrument using the Illumina HiSeq PE Rapid Cluster Kit v2 and Illumina HiSeq Rapid SBS Kit v2 kits.

Objective. To assess a susceptibility to antibiotic combinations in nosocomial carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii isolates using a modified method of multiple combination bactericidal testing (MCBT). Materials and Methods. A total of 178 isolates (63 K. pneumoniae isolates, 31 P. aeruginosa isolates, 84 A. baumannii isolates) obtained in the 2013-2017 from hospitalized patients in 28 public health organizations in 4 Belarus regions were included in the study.

This study analyzed a prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae strains obtained in the Privolzhsky Federal Medical Research Center units and their antibiotic resistance mechanisms. During the study year, the incidence of K. pneumoniae …

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 …

We studied 126 children, admitted to cardiac surgery hospital with colonization of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) by multidrug-resistant Enterobacteriaceae. Criterion for inclusion in the study were children with complex congenital heart disease …
