Article Synopsis
- Infections from carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) and other resistant strains present a significant global health issue, with this study focusing on their distribution in Spain from 2014 to 2018.
- A national retrospective study analyzed 2,704 cases of carbapenemase-producing microorganisms, identifying 84.7% as carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) and 15.3% as carbapenemase-producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CPPA), using molecular methods for accuracy.
- The findings indicate that OXA-48-like and VIM carbapenemases were the most common in Spain, with regional variations in prevalence and a noticeable increase in OXA-
Colistin is an antibiotic used to treat Gram-negative bacterial infections, particularly those caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria. The broth microdilution (BMD) reference method is the recommended protocol for detecting colistin susceptibility; however, it is laborious and expensive and cannot be performed in all laboratories. To evaluate the colistin susceptibility in , and using an alternative method, which has been referred to as the drop test.

Patients And Methods: Cases of AAM were prospectively collected between 2007 and 2010 among immunocompetent patients over 14 years-old. Enteroviruses and herpes viruses were determined using nucleic acids detection in CSF.
