Twenty-one multiresistant Enterobacter cloacae isolates producing OXA-48 (n = 10), CTX-M-15 (n = 7) or both (n = 4) β-lactamases were detected in a Spanish hospital during a 1-year period (June 2013 to June 2014). The isolates were also resistant to non-β-lactam antimicrobials, further complicating the therapeutic options. Genotyping of the isolates...

The dissemination of carbapenemase-producing bacteria worldwide is an important source of concern because carbapenemase producers are multidrug resistant (Nordmann and Poirel, 2014). National guidelines increasingly recommend a systematic screening of at least carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) and glycopeptide-resistant enterococci (GRE) in patients admitted to hospitals who have...

We report here the first identification of the worldwide spread of Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase-2-producing and carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae clone ST258 in Turkey, a country where the distantly-related carbapenemase OXA-48 is known to be endemic. Worryingly, this isolate was also resistant to colistin, now considered to be the last-resort antibiotic for carbapenem-resistant isolates.

La résistance bactérienne aux antibiotiques est d’incidence croissante notamment parmi les entérobactéries qui sont les bactéries pathogènes les plus fréquentes pour l’Homme et sont la source de nombreuses infections communautaires et nosocomiales. Des entérobactéries résistantes aux carbapénèmes ont été rapportées avec une fréquence croissante dans le monde depuis leur...
