Antibiotic susceptibility and fosfomycin resistance characterization in a cohort of children older than 6 years of age with urinary tract infection.

Fosfomycin tromethamol (FT) was reintroduced as an option for the treatment of low urinary tract infection (UTI) in children. In this study, we described the antibiotic sensitivity and mechanisms of resistance to fosfomycin in isolates from children older than 6 years with UTI. Urine culture and antibiotic susceptibility study were performed.

Prevalence and molecular characterisation of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales in an outbreak-free setting in a single hospital in Uruguay.

Objectives: This study aimed to characterise all carbapenemase-producing enterobacteria (CPE) isolates obtained from an outbreak-free setting in Uruguay.

Methods: We studied 12 CPE isolated from Hospital de Clínicas between 2012-2016. Bacterial identification and antibiotic susceptibility testing were performed using VITEK®2 and Sensititre or agar dilution, respectively.

First characterization of K. pneumoniae ST11 clinical isolates harboring bla in Latin America.

Antimicrobial resistance due to carbapenemase production in Enterobacteriaceae clinical isolates is a global threat. Klebsiellapneumoniae harboring the bla gene is one of the major concerns in hospital settings in Latin America. The aim of this study was to characterize the antibiotic resistance mechanisms and to typify four carbapenem-resistant K.

First three Escherichia coli isolates harbouring mcr-1 in Uruguay.

Objective: This report described the first Escherichia coli (E. coli) isolates harbouring mcr-1 in Uruguay.

Methods: Three E.
