The study involved 25 isolates of gramnegative carbapenemase-producing bacteria. 17 isolates of Klebsiella pneumonia produced carbapenemase NDM-1 and were highly resistant to cephalosporins (MIC>128 mcg/ml), carbapenems (MIC>16 mcg/ml), aminoglycosides and fluoroquinoiones, while among them 4 isolates preserved susceptibility to azthreonam and all of them were susceptible to tigecycline and polymyxin. 2 isolates of Acinetobacter genomospecies 13 produced NDM-1 and were resistant to all the beta-lactams and amikacin, while preserved susceptibility to gentamicin, co-trimoxazole, tigecycline and polymyxin, the susceptibility to ciprofloxacin being lowered. Carbapenemase VIM-4 was produced by 2 isolates of Enterobacter cloacae, which were highly resistant to cephalosporins and azthreonam, significant synergism being observed between cefepim and clavulanate. The resistance of the isolates to carbapenems was low (MIC 0.5-4.0 mcg/ml), they also being resistant to aminoglycosides and ciprofioxacin and susceptible to tigecycline and polymyxin. Carbapenemases KPC-2 were detected in 2 isolates of K.pneumoniae and in 1 isolate of E.cloacae. The above isolates were resistant to all the beta-lactams, ciprofloxacin, aminoglycosides and co-trimoxazole. I isolate of E.cloacae showed resistance to tigecychine and I isolate of K.pneumoniae was resistant to polymyxin. Carbapenemase OXA-48 was detected in 1 isolate of K.pneumoniae. It was resistant to all the beta-lactams, ciprofloxacin and co-trimoxazole and susceptible to aminoglycosides, tigecycline and polymyxin.

Introduction: Hypervirulent carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (hv-CRKP) poses an increasing public health risk due to its high treatment difficulty and associated mortality, especially in bone marrow transplant (BMT) patients. The emergence of strains with multiple resistance mechanisms further complicates the management of these infections.
Methods: We isolated and characterized a novel ST11-KL64 hv-CRKP strain from a pediatric bone marrow transplantation patient.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the status of carbapenem-resistant strains of isolated from the Department of Microbiology, Zhejiang Tongde Hospital between September 2023 and February 2024, and to examine the in vitro antibacterial effect of Reduning combined with polymyxin on carbapenem-resistant (CRKP), which may provide evidence on the application of Reduning in the clinical anti-infective therapy.
Methods: A total of 50 different isolates of CRKP were collected, and the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of polymyxin, Reduning and polymyxin plus Reduning were measured with microbroth dilution method. Then, the fractional inhibition concentration index (FICI) was calculated.

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.

Polymyxin B is one of the last lines of defense in infections caused by multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria. Aeromonas hydrophila are important fish pathogens and the occurrence of polymyxin B-resistant A. hydrophila isolates is increasing.
