Objectives: In 2018, we isolated multidrug-resistant α-haemolytic streptococci TP1632 from the blood of a 34-year-old patient with bacteraemia. This study aimed to characterise α-haemolytic streptococci TP1632 and elucidate its multidrug resistance mechanisms.
Methods: TP1632 was characterised by whole genome sequencing and biochemical testing.
Introduction: The number of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) strains are increasing, further raising healthcare concerns worldwide. In this study, we isolated three CRKP strains from bile and blood samples of an elderly patient (90s) with acute cholangitis and characterised the features and antimicrobial resistance mechanism of CRKP isolates.
Methods: Three CRKP isolates were characterised by Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), whole genome sequencing using the NovaSeq 6000, and antimicrobial susceptibility testing.
