Carbapenem-Resistant in Three Tertiary Care Hospitals in Mexico: Virulence Profiles, Innate Immune Response and Clonal Dissemination.

is one of the most important nosocomial pathogens distributed worldwide. Due to its multidrug-resistance and the propensity for the epidemic spread, the World Health Organization includes this bacterium as a priority health issue for development of new antibiotics. The aims of this study were to investigate the antimicrobial resistance profile, the clonal relatedness, the virulence profiles, the innate host immune response and the clonal dissemination of in Hospital Civil de Guadalajara (HCG), Hospital Regional General Ignacio Zaragoza (HRGIZ) and Pediatric ward of the Hospital General de México Eduardo Liceaga (HGM-P).

Emergence of IncFIA Plasmid-Carrying Among and Isolates in a Tertiary Referral Hospital in Mexico.

The emergence of New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase 1 on carbapenemase-producing bacteria has raised a major worldwide public health concern. This study reports the dissemination of in carbapenem-resistant isolates that caused nosocomial infections in a tertiary hospital in Mexico City. Seven and three nosocomial isolates from the same time period harbored the gene.
