Article Synopsis
- * This strain was isolated from a newborn's stool sample and showed resistance to several antibiotics, including ertapenem, while being susceptible to others like C3G and colistin.
- * Genomic analysis revealed resistance genes and specific plasmid types, indicating its potential to cause an epidemic, highlighting the need for effective prevention and control measures in hospitals.
The current study aimed to determine the molecular mechanisms of carbapenem and colistin resistance among the clinical isolates of from hospitalized patients admitted to a university hospital in Eastern Algeria. In total, 124 non-duplicate isolates of were collected from September 2018 to April 2019. Bacterial identification was performed using MALDI-TOF MS.

Although they are originally found in the intestinal microbiota in the majority of the cases, urinary tract infections can also be caused by intra-intestinal pathogenic E. coli.

- The study focuses on the rising threat of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae, particularly examining the antimicrobial resistance of Proteus mirabilis isolated in Constantine, Algeria.
- A total of 108 strains were analyzed, with methods including identification through mass spectrometry and antimicrobial susceptibility testing via disk diffusion and Etest.
- Results revealed that 72 strains were multidrug-resistant, with one P. mirabilis showing resistance to imipenem and containing specific resistance genes, marking a significant finding in the region.
