Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPEs) pose a considerable threat to public health because of antimicrobial resistance. In France, the most prevalent carbapenemases are OXA-48-like type. More than 55 variants of OXA-48-like enzymes [...]

The Enterobacter cloacae complex (ECC) is highly diverse; its many species and subspecies can be distinguished by using phenotypic methods or matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-offlight mass spectrometry. Whole-genome sequencing enables [...]

Few last-line antimicrobial agents effectively treat infections caused by New Delhi metallo-[beta]-lactamase (NDM)-producing Enterobacterales (1). Cefiderocol is a novel synthetic conjugate siderophore cephalosporin that is more stable against [beta]-lactamase hydrolysis [...]

The massive dissemination of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales poses a global threat to public health. Carbapenem antibiotics remain the last line of defense against highly resistant Enterobacterales. Carbapenemases have been identified in [...]

Carbapenems are the last line antimicrobial drugs for treating infections caused by multidrug-resistant Enterobacterales. The global dissemination of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE; formerly known as carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae) pose a serious threat [...]

In Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteria, resistance to carbapenems results in 2 main mechanisms: the production of an extended spectrum [beta]-lactamase or plasmid-borne cephalosporinase associated with a decrease in permeability of the [...]

To the Editor: Multidrug resistance in bacteria isolated from animals is an emerging phenomenon, mirroring what is happening among humans. During the past decade, expanded-spectrum [beta]-lactamases in Enterobacteriaceae from humans [...]

To the Editor: Acinetobacter baumannii is an opportunistic pathogen that is a source of nosocomial infections, mostly pneumonia (7). Treatment of infections caused by A. baumannii is becoming a serious [...]
