摘要

We describe an outbreak of imipenemase metallo-beta-lactamase-producing organisms in a long-term-care facility (LTCF) amid a larger community outbreak of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing organisms. Transmission was propagated by inadequate infection prevention practices. We provided infection prevention recommendations and education, facilitated colonization screening, and increased interfacility communication. This outbreak demonstrates the unmet need for infection prevention education in long-term-care facilities and the importance of prompt public health response to ensure appropriate identification, containment, and prevention of emerging resistance.

Emerging Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae Infection, Its Epidemiology and Novel Treatment Options: A Review

Mihret Tilahun, Yeshimebet Kassa, Alemu Gedefie, Melaku Ashagire

Summary: Infections due to multidrug-resistant Enterobacteriaceae have become a major global public health issue, with transmission facilitated by inappropriate antimicrobial use and increased global connectivity. Carbapenems, the current medications of choice, are facing increasing resistance globally, necessitating the search for alternative treatment options. Ceftazidime-avibactam is currently the most common treatment option, with other novel drugs under trial for different populations. Treatment should be tailored to patient susceptibility, infection type, and personal characteristics.

Stubenrauch, Vijaykrishna Dhanasekaran, Jiangning Song, George Taiaroa, Mark Davies, Richard A. Strugnell, Qiyu Bao, Tieli Zhou, Michael J. McDonald, Trevor Lithgow

Summary: This study reconstructed the genetic and evolutionary mechanisms of carbapenem resistance in a clinical isolate of Klebsiella quasipneumoniae. It found that multiple genetic loci are necessary for acquiring carbapenem resistance, and the selection of one gene by an antibiotic can facilitate the mutation of another gene, further enhancing the evolution of carbapenem resistance.
