Article Synopsis
- Blood-borne infections from carbapenem-resistant complex (CR-ECC) pose significant treatment challenges, particularly in intensive care units in Kolkata, India, as highlighted by a study on 70 isolates collected from 2017-2022.
- This research identified the predominant species and mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance, revealing novel resistance genes and integrons that contribute to the spread of resistance.
- The study found a high diversity of genetic types among the CR-ECC isolates, indicating multiple sources of infection and the need for ongoing monitoring to prevent the spread of these resistant pathogens in healthcare settings.
Background: The primary aim of this study was to investigate the occurrence, characteristics, and antimicrobial resistance patterns of various Shigella serogroups isolated from patients with acute diarrhea of the Infectious Diseases Hospital in Kolkata from 2011-2019.
Principal Findings: During the study period, Shigella isolates were tested for their serogroups, antibiotic resistance pattern and virulence gene profiles. A total of 5.
We report draft whole-genome sequences of two multidrug-resistant Salmonella enterica serovar Senftenberg sequence type 14 strains resistant to ciprofloxacin, ceftriaxone, and/or azithromycin, which were isolated from neonatal stool and goat meat in Kolkata, India. The genome characteristics, as well as the antimicrobial resistance genes, plasmid types, and integrons, are presented in this report.

Methods: A total of 599 fecal samples were collected from patients with enteric infections who were ≥ 20 years old. was isolated on the MacConkey agar and virulent genes were detected by multiplex/simplex PCR.
