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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

We read with great interest two recent publications dealing with the same topic, i.e. the public health risk related to the occurrence of acquired carbapenemase-producing Gram-negative species in the animal world and the environment.1,2 Woodford et al.1 highlight the series of reports of carbapenemases found either in bacteria isolated from non-human sources or in Salmonella enterica subsp....

Comparative evaluation of the recently developed chromogenic culture medium chromID OXA-48 (bioMérieux) with chromID CARBA (bioMérieux) and SUPERCARBA showed that chromID OXA-48 and SUPERCARBA media have the highest sensitivity for detection of OXA-48 producing Enterobacteriaceae (91% and 93%) comparatively to chromID CARBA (21 %). The chromID OXA-48 has the highest specificity, with 100%, as...
