Since the first suspected case of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) on December 1st, 2019, in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, a total 40,235 confirmed cases and 909 deaths have been reported China up to February 10, 2020, evoking fear locally internationally. Here, based publicly available epidemiological data for Hubei, from January 11 we provide estimates main parameters. In particular, an estimation fatality recovery ratios, along with their 90% confidence intervals as outbreak evolves....
Abstract Since the first suspected case of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) on December 1st, 2019, in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, a total 40,235 confirmed cases and 909 deaths have been reported China up to February 10, 2020, evoking fear locally internationally. Here, based publicly available epidemiological data for Hubei, from January 11 we provide estimates main parameters. In particular, an estimation fatality recovery ratios, along with their 90% confidence intervals as outbreak...
ABSTRACT Resistance to imipenem and meropenem was observed in 211 (16.5%) isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa recovered a Greek university hospital during 1996 1998. In six selected from throughout this period, high-level resistance both carbapenems (MICs ≥ 128 μg/ml) associated with production the class B β-lactamase VIM-1. bla VIM -bearing belonged serotype O:12 were indistinguishable by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis.
The increasing frequency of class A KPC enzymes and B metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) among Enterobacteriaceae as well their possible co-production makes early differentiation urgent. simple phenotypic algorithm employing three combined-disc tests consisting meropenem alone with phenylboronic acid (PBA), EDTA, or both PBA EDTA was designed for the MBL enzymes. Augmentation zone inhibition by ≥5 mm considered a positive test result. total 141 genotypically confirmed carbapenemase-positive...
To investigate the resistance mechanisms and genetic relationship of imipenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolates recovered in intensive care unit (ICU) a tertiary hospital.Imipenem-resistant A. clinical environmental were collected ICU Red Cross General Hospital, Athens, Greece between March October 2002. The tested by Etest MBL, PCR, RT-PCR sequencing for carbapenemase-encoding genes, PFGE synergy experiments using meropenem efflux pump inhibitor carbonyl cyanide...
The worldwide increase in the occurrence and dissemination of KPC beta-lactamases among gram-negative pathogens makes critical early detection these enzymes. Boronic acid disk tests using different antibiotic substrates were evaluated for KPC-possessing Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates. A total 57 genotypically confirmed K. isolates with varying carbapenem MICs examined. To measure specificity tests, 106 non-KPC-possessing (89 17 Escherichia coli isolates) randomly selected those exhibiting...
KPC-possessing Klebsiella pneumoniae have been found to be widespread in several regions but are still rarely detected Europe. We describe the characteristics of an outbreak caused by KPC producers a tertiary care Greek hospital.During 12 month period (October 2007-September 2008), 47 patients Hippokration University Hospital yielded K. isolates that exhibited reduced susceptibility carbapenems and were phenotypically positive for carbapenemase production negative metallo-beta-lactamase...
We compared six colistin susceptibility testing (ST) methods on 61 carbapenem-nonsusceptible Klebsiella pneumoniae (n = 41) and Acinetobacter baumannii 20) clinical isolates with provisionally elevated MICs by routine ST. Colistin were determined broth microdilution (BMD), BMD 0.002% polysorbate 80 (P80) (BMD-P80), agar dilution (AD), Etest, Vitek2, MIC test strip (MTS). was used as the reference method for comparison. The EUCAST-recommended susceptible resistant breakpoints of ≤2 >2 μg/ml,...
