The aim of the study was to decipher the mechanisms and associated genetic determinants responsible for increased carbapenem resistance among Proteus mirabilis clinical isolates.Methods: The entire genetic structure surrounding the β- lactam resistance genes was characterized by PCR, gene walking, and DNA sequencing.Results: A series of clinical P. mirabilis isolates were consecutively ...

Twelve consecutive carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli isolates were recovered from patients (infection or colonization) hospitalized between March and September 2012 in different units at a hospital in Bulgaria. They all produced the carbapenemase NDM-1 and the extended-spectrum-β-lactamase CTX-M-15, together with the 16S rRNA methylase RmtB, conferring high-level resistance to all...
