Soliman, Ahmed M. ; Ramadan, Hazem ; Sadek, Mustafa ; Nariya, Hirofumi ; Shimamoto, Toshi ; Hiott, Lari M. ; Frye, Jonathan G. ; Jackson, Charlene R. ; Shimamoto, Tadashi

In: Journal of Global Antimicrobial Resistance, 2020, vol. 22, p. 832–834

Objectives: This study describes the first draft genome sequence of a multidrug- resistant (MDR) Escherichia coli D-ST69 clinical isolate from Egypt carrying blaNDM-1 and blaOXA-244.Methods: The strain was isolated in December 2014 from a wound pus swab of a male patient in the city of Kafr El-Sheikh using MacConkey agar containing 2 μg/mL meropenem. The strain was subjected to antimicrobial ...

Prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii from 2005 to 2016 in Switzerland

Ramette, A. ; Kronenberg, A. ; Swiss Centre for Antibiotic Resistance (ANRESIS)

In: BMC Infectious Diseases, 2018, vol. 18, no. 1, p. 159

Background : We describe the prevalence of invasive carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter spp. isolated from 2005 to 2016 in different regions of Switzerland.Methods: Using the Swiss Antibiotic Resistance Centre (anresis) database that includes data from 70% of all hospitalized patients and one third of all ambulatory practitioners in Switzerland, we analysed the number of carbapenem-...

Rapid detection of fosfomycin resistance in Escherichia coli

Nordmann, Patrice ; Poirel, Laurent ; Mueller, Linda

In: Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2019, vol. 57, no. 1, p. e01531-18

The rapid fosfomycin/Escherichia coli NP test was developed to detect fosfomycin resistance in E. coli isolates. The test is based on glucose metabolization and the detection of bacterial growth in the presence of fosfomycin at 40 µg/ml. Bacterial growth is visually detectable by an orange-to-yellow color change of red phenol, a pH indicator. A total of 100 E. coli isolates, among which 22...

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...
