Newest firstCarbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales represent a growing global threat due to their extensive antimicrobial resistance and rapid dissemination. This study characterized the phenotypic and genomic features of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates collected between 2020 and 2022 from four healthcare institutions in Lima, Peru. A total of 320 non-redundant isolates (61 E. coli and 259 K. pneumoniae)…
Open article record in new tab ↗ObjectivesTo characterize carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolates associated with healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) in Colombia using whole-genome sequencing (WGS). MethodsA total of 83 A. baumannii isolates collected between 2012 and 2015 were sequenced using the Illumina platform. Raw reads were assembled by SPAdes and classified via multilocus sequence typing (MLST), using the Pasteur, Oxfor…
Open article record in new tab ↗Klebsiella pneumoniae are a leading cause of healthcare associated infections worldwide. In particular, strains expressing extended-spectrum {beta}-lactamases (ESBLs) and carbapenemases pose serious treatment challenges, leading the World Health Organization (WHO) to designate ESBL and carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) as "critical" threats to human health. Research efforts to combat these pathogens ca…
Open article record in new tab ↗Klebsiella pneumoniae is a globally significant opportunistic pathogen causing healthcare-associated and community-acquired infections. This study examined the epidemiology and the distribution of resistance and virulence genes in clinical K. pneumoniae strains in Kenya. Eighty-nine K. pneumoniae isolates were collected over six years from five counties in Kenya and were analyzed using whole genome sequencing and…
Open article record in new tab ↗Cannabis is typically propagated using stem cuttings taken from mother plants to produce genetically uniform propagules. However, producers anecdotally report that clonal lines deteriorate over time and eventually produce clones with less vigour and lower cannabinoid levels than the original mother plant. While the cause of this deterioration has not been investigated, one potential contributor is the accumulation…
Open article record in new tab ↗Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a leading cause of community-acquired and hospital-acquired infections. Successful treatment is hampered by its remarkable ability to rapidly develop resistance to antimicrobial agents, mostly through mutation. In response, the World Health Organization listed carbapenem-resistant P. aeruginosa as a Priority 1 (Critical) pathogen for research and development of new treatments. A key resou…
