Cross-border emergence of Escherichia coli producing the carbapenemase NDM-5 in Switzerland and Germany

Chakraborty, Trinad ; Sadek, Mustafa ; Yao, Yancheng ; Imirzalioglu, Can ; Stephan, Roger ; Poirel, Laurent ; Nordmann, Patrice

In: Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2020, p. -

A series of clinical NDM-5-producing E. coli isolates obtained from two surveillance networks of carbapenem-producing Enterobacterales from 2018-2019, namely Switzerland (NARA) and Germany (SurvCARE), were analyzed. The 33 NDM-5- producing E. coli isolates were highly resistant to β-lactams including the novel ß- lactam/ß-lactamase inhibitor combinations (ceftazidime/avibactam, ...

A standard numbering scheme for class c β-lactamases

Mack, Andrew R. ; Barnes, Melissa D. ; Taracila, Magdalena A. ; Hujer, Andrea M. ; Hujer, Kristine M. ; Cabot, Gabriel ; Feldgarden, Michael ; Haft, Daniel H. ; Klimke, William ; Akker, Focco van den ; Vila, Alejandro J. ; Smania, Andrea ; Haider, Shozeb ; Papp-Wallace, Krisztina M. ; Bradford, Patricia A. ; Rossolini, Gian Maria ; Docquier, Jean-Denis ; Frère, Jean-Marie ; Galleni, Moreno ; Hanson, Nancy D. ; Oliver, Antonio ; Plésiatyz, Patrick ; Poirel, Laurent ; Nordmann, Patrice ; Palzkill, Timothy G. ; Jacoby, George A. ; Bush, Karen ; Bonomo, Robert A.

Unlike for classes A and B, a standardized amino acid numbering scheme has not been proposed for the class C (AmpC) β-lactamases, which complicates communication in the field. Here, we propose a scheme developed through a collaborative approach that considers both sequence and structure, preserves traditional numbering of catalytically important residues (Ser64, Lys67, Tyr150, and Lys315),...

Rapid ESBL NP test for rapid detection of expanded-spectrum β-lactamase producers in enterobacterales

Demord, Anthony ; Poirel, Laurent ; D'Emidio, Fernando ; Pomponio, Stefano ; Nordmann, Patrice

In: Microbial Drug Resistance, 2020, p. -

Objectives: To evaluate the biochemical Rapid ESBL NP® (Liofilchem, Italy) for the rapid detection of extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) in Enterobacterales.Methods: A total of 100 clinical gram-negative strains (40 ESBL producers with or without cephalosporinase, 43 carbapenemase producers with or without additional ESBLs, 8 AmpC-type producers, 6 penicillinase producers, and 3 ...

Genetic features leading to reduced susceptibility to aztreonam-avibactam among metallo-β-lactamase-producing escherichia coli isolates

Sadek, Mustafa ; Juhas, Mario ; Poirel, Laurent ; Nordmann, Patrice

In: Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2020, vol. 64, no. 2020-12, p. -

Metallo-β-lactamase (MBL)-producing Escherichia coli isolates resistant to the newly developed β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor drug combination aztreonam-avibactam (ATM-AVI) have been reported. Here, we analyzed a series of 118 clinical MBL- producing E. coli isolates of various geographical origins for susceptibility to ATM-AVI. The nature of the PBP3 protein sequence and the occurrence of...

Dimercaptosuccinic acid in combination with carbapenems against isogenic strains of Escherichia coli producing or not producing a metallo-β-lactamase in vitro and in murine peritonitis

Cheminet, G. ; de Lastours, V. ; Poirel, Laurent ; Chau, F. ; Peoc’h, K. ; Massias, L. ; Fantin, B. ; Nordmann, Patrice

In: Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2020, vol. 75, no. 12, p. 3593–3600

Background: Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales represent a major therapeutic challenge. MBLs, requiring zinc at their catalytic site, could be inhibited by meso-dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA), a heavy metal chelator already widely used for treating lead intoxication.Objectives: To evaluate the activity of carbapenems alone or combined with DMSA against MBL-producing Escherichia coli in...

High colonization rate and heterogeneity of ESBL- and carbapenemase-producing enterobacteriaceae isolated from gull feces in Lisbon, Portugal

Aires-de-Sousa, Marta ; Fournier, Claudine ; Lopes, Elizeth ; Lencastre, Hermínia de ; Nordmann, Patrice ; Poirel, Laurent

In: Microorganisms, 2020, vol. 8, no. 10, p. 1487

In order to evaluate whether seagulls living on the Lisbon coastline, Portugal, might be colonized and consequently represent potential spreaders of multidrug-resistant bacteria, a total of 88 gull fecal samples were screened for detection of extended- spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)- or carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and for...
