Colistin Resistance Mediated by in ESBL-Producing, Multidrug Resistant Infantis in Broiler Chicken Industry, Italy (2016-2017).

Colistin-resistance mediated by mobilisable and plasmid-borne genes has emerged worldwide, threatening the efficacy of colistin, a last resort antibiotic increasingly used for treating human invasive infections by multidrug-resistant or extensively drug-resistant . In this study, we report the first evidence of -1-mediated colistin resistance in four multidrug resistant (MDR) out of 324 infantis from the Italian antimicrobial resistance (AMR) monitoring (2001-2017) in broilers and broiler meat. Two were also Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamases (ESBL)-producing isolates.

Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae in high-risk haematological patients: factors favouring spread, risk factors and outcome of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteremias.

Background: Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) spread and infections in patients with haematological malignancies are a serious concern especially in endemic areas. Treatment failures and delay in appropriate therapy for CRKP infections are frequent and the mortality rate associated with CRKP bacteremia in neutropenic haematological patients is reported about 60%.

Methods: Haematological patients harboring CRKP hospitalized between February 2012 and May 2013 in an Italian Teaching hospital were examined.
