We describe the first isolation of an NDM-1-producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa in Italy. In May 2013, a patient with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia and history of prior hospitalisation in Belgrad, Serbia, underwent stem cell transplantation at a tertiary care hospital in Rome, Italy. After transplantion, sepsis by NDM-1-producing P. aeruginosa occurred, leading to septic shock and fatal outcome.

Introduction: Despite a scarcity of data, before 2022 Ukraine was already considered a high-prevalence country for carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE), and the situation has dramatically worsened during the full-scale war with Russia. The aim of this study was to analyse CPEs isolated in Poland from victims of war in Ukraine.
Methods: The study included 65 CPE isolates from March 2022 till February 2023, recovered in 36 Polish medical centres from 57 patients arriving from Ukraine, differing largely by age and reason for hospitalisation.

Unlabelled: Carbapenem-resistant spp. pose a significant challenge in clinical settings due to limited treatment options for nosocomial infections. Carbapenem-hydrolyzing class D beta-lactamases are the primary cause for carbapenem resistance, while metallo-beta-lactamases (MBLs) New Delhi metallo beta-lactamase (NDM) and imipenemase (IMP) also contribute.

New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase-1 (NDM-1)-producing bacteria are resistant to nearly all available β-lactam antibiotics and have become a public health threat. Antibiotic resistance often carries fitness costs, which typically manifest as a reduced bacterial growth rate. Here, we investigated the mechanism of fitness cost in NDM-1-producing bacteria.

Article Synopsis
- The study focused on analyzing the genomic structure of the first isolated ST152 Klebsiella pneumoniae strain carrying the bla gene in China.
- Various methods, including antimicrobial susceptibility testing and whole-genome sequencing, were utilized to investigate the strain's resistance patterns and genetic features.
- Results showed that the strain is resistant to multiple antibiotics but sensitive to tigecycline and colistin, and it is genetically related to strains from other regions, highlighting concerns about antibiotic resistance transmission.
