Multidrug-Resistant and Extensively Drug-Resistant Causing Nosocomial Meningitis in the Neurological Intensive Care Unit.

is one of the significant healthcare-associated meningitis agents characterized by multidrug resistance and a high mortality risk. Thirty-seven strains were isolated from thirty-seven patients of Moscow neuro-ICU with meningitis in 2013-2020. The death rate was 37.

Rectal and Tracheal Carriage of Carbapenemase Genes and Class 1 and 2 Integrons in Patients in Neurosurgery Intensive Care Unit.

The spread of multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria, which is associated with the distribution of beta-lactamase genes and class 1 and 2 integrons, is a global problem. In this study, in the Moscow neurosurgery intensive care unit (neuro-ICU), the high prevalence of the above-stated genes was found to be associated with intestinal and tracheal carriage. Seven-point prevalence surveys, which included 60 patients in the neuro-ICU, were conducted weekly in the period from Oct.

Emergence of Five Genetic Lines ST395, ST13, ST3346, ST39, and Novel ST3551 of Multidrug-Resistant Clinical in Russia.

The objective of this study was phenotypic and genotypic characterization of antibacterial-resistant clinical strains isolated in Moscow Transplantology Intensive Care Unit in 2017-2019. Major strains among ( = 63) isolated from 30 patients were recognized as extensive drug-resistant ( = 55) pathogens, and remaining strains were recognized as multidrug-resistant ( = 8) pathogens. The beta-lactamase genes ( = 63), ( = 61), ( = 54), ( = 52), and ( = 2), as well as class 1 integrons ( = 19) carried gene cassette arrays A4 ( = 2), A1C ( = 6), BA1 ( = 9), A15A1 ( = 3), and A12 ( = 1) were identified in the strains.

Identification of IS1R and IS10R elements inserted into ompk36 porin gene of two multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae hospital strains.

Hospital Klebsiella pneumoniae strains (n = 196) were collected in 2012-16 from the patients of a Moscow neurosurgical intensive care unit. Klebsiella pneumoniae strains were multidrug-resistant and carried beta-lactamase genes blaSHV (97.4% of strains), blaCTX-M (84.
