About the usefulness of contact precautions for carriers of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli

Zahar, Jean-Ralph ; Poirel, Laurent ; Dupont, Claire ; Fortineau, Nicolas ; Nassif, Xavier ; Nordmann, Patrice

In: BMC Infectious Diseases, 2015, vol. 15, p. 512

Extended-spectrum β-lactamases producing Escherichia coli (ESBL-E) are increasingly identified in health care facilities. As previously done for the control of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, many hospitals have established screening strategies for early identification of patients being carriers of ESBL producers in general and ESBL-E in particular, and have implemented contact...

Acquisition of broad-spectrum cephalosporin resistance leading to colistin resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae

Jayol, Aurélie ; Nordmann, Patrice ; Desroches, Marine ; Decousser, Jean-Winoc ; Poirel, Laurent

In: Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2016, vol. 60, no. 5, p. 3199–3201

An extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing and colistin-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical isolate was recovered from a patient who was treated with cefotaxime. This isolate harbored a blaCTX-M-15 ESBL gene that was associated with an ISEcp1 insertion sequence. Transposition of that tandem occurred within the chromosomal mgrB gene, leading...

Acquisition of extended-spectrum β-lactamase GES-6 leading to resistance to ceftolozane-tazobactam combination in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Poirel, Laurent ; Ortiz De La Rosa, José-Manuel ; Kieffer, Nicolas ; Dubois, Véronique ; Jayol, Aurélie ; Nordmann, Patrice

In: Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2019, vol. 63, no. 1, p. e01809-18

A clinical Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolate resistant to all β-lactams, including ceftolozane-tazobactam and carbapenems, was recovered. It belonged to sequence type 235 and produced the extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) GES-6 differing from GES-1 by two amino acid substitutions (E104K and G170S). GES-6 possessed an increased hydrolytic activity toward carbapenems and to ceftolozane and a ...

Activity of the novel siderophore cephalosporin cefiderocol against multidrug-resistant Gram-negative pathogens

Dobias, Jan ; Dénervaud-Tendon, Valérie ; Poirel, Laurent ; Nordmann, Patrice

In: European Journal of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases, 2017, p. 1–9

The novel siderophore cephalosporin cefiderocol (S-649266) with potent activity against Gram-negative pathogens was recently developed (Shionogi & Co., Ltd.). Here, we evaluated the activity of this new molecule and comparators against a collection of previously characterized Gram-negative isolates using broth microdilution panels. A total of 753 clinical multidrug-resistant Gram-negative...

Antimicrobial activity of octenidine against multidrug-resistant Gram-negative pathogens

Alvarez-Marin, R. ; Aires-de-Sousa, Marta ; Nordmann, Patrice ; Kieffer, Nicolas ; Poirel, Laurent

In: European Journal of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases, 2017, p. 1–5

Multidrug-resistant (MR) Gram-negative (GN) pathogens pose a major and growing threat for healthcare systems, as therapy of infections is often limited due to the lack of available systemic antibiotics. Well-tolerated antiseptics, such as octenidine dihydrochloride (OCT), may be a very useful tool in infection control to reduce the dissemination of MRGN. This study aimed to investigate the...

Antimicrobial Resistance in Escherichia coli

Poirel, Laurent ; Madec, Jean-Yves ; Lupo, Agnese ; Schink, Anne-Kathrin ; Kieffer, Nicolas ; Nordmann, Patrice ; Schwarz, Stefan

In: Microbiology Spectrum, 2018, vol. 6, no. 4, p. -

Multidrug resistance in Escherichia coli has become a worrying issue that is increasingly observed in human but also in veterinary medicine worldwide. E. coli is intrinsically susceptible to almost all clinically relevant antimicrobial agents, but this bacterial species has a great capacity to accumulate resistance genes, mostly through horizontal gene transfer. The most problematic...

Bloodstream infections caused by Pseudomonas spp.; how to detect carbapenemase producers directly from positive blood cultures ?

Dortet, Laurent ; Boulanger, Anne ; Poirel, Laurent ; Nordmann, Patrice

In: Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2014, vol. 52, no. 4, p. 1269–1273

The Carba NP test has been evaluated to detect carbapenemase-producing Pseudomonas spp. directly from blood cultures. This rapid and cost-effective test permits an early identification of carbapenemase-producing Pseudomonas spp. directly from blood cultures with excellent sensitivity and specificity. Results may be useful in particular for guiding the first-line therapy and epidemiological...

CarbAcineto NP test for rapid detection of carbapenemase-producers in Acinetobacter spp.

Dortet, Laurent ; Poirel, Laurent ; Errera, Caroline ; Nordmann, Patrice

In: Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2014, p. JCM.00594–14

Multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolates, and particularly carbapenemase-producing isolates, are increasingly reported worldwide. The biochemically-based Carba NP test, extensively validated for detection of carbapenemase producers among Enterobacteriaceae and Pseudomonas spp., has been modified for the detection of carbapenemase production in Acinetobacter spp. A collection of 151...

L. ; Grundmann, H. ; group, the European Survey on Carbapenemase-Producing Enterobacteriaceae (EuSCAPE) working

In: Euro Surveillance, 2013, vol. 18, no. 28, p. 20525

The spread of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) is a threat to healthcare delivery, although its extent differs substantially from country to country. In February 2013, national experts from 39 European countries were invited to self-assess the current epidemiological situation of CPE in their country. Information about national management of CPE was also reported. The results...

Carbapenemase-producing organisms: a global scourge

Bonomo, Robert A ; Burd, Eileen M ; Conly, John ; Limbago, Brandi M ; Poirel, Laurent ; Segre, Julie A ; Westblade, Lars F

In: Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2018, vol. 66, no. 8, p. 1290–1297

The dramatic increase in the prevalence and clinical impact of infections caused by bacteria producing carbapenemases is a global health concern. Carbapenemase production is especially problematic when encountered in members of the family Enterobacteriaceae. Due to their ability to readily spread and colonize patients in healthcare environments, preventing the transmission of these organisms...
