A simple EDTA synergistic carbapenem inactivation method (esCIM) based on the simplified carbapenem inactivation method (sCIM) and EDTA synergistic carbapenem inactivation test (eCIM) detected the levels of metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) carbapenemase. The esCIM method uses EDTA-impregnated antibiotic disk to detect carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) directly instead of inculating the disk in the trypticase soy broth (TSB). To determine the sensitivity and specificity of esCIM, 167 carbapenemase-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) isolates were collected, of which, 161 were CPE strains confirmed by PCR. The carbapenemase genes included blaKPC (50.9%), blaNDM (36.6%), blaIMP (6.8%), blaVIM (3.1%), and blaOXA-181 (0.6%). Three isolates carried two different types of genes (blaKPC and blaNDM), and the remaining six CRE strains lacked the carbapenemase genes. The phenotypic evaluations were performed using both esCIM and eCIM. The esCIM performs better than eCIM in the detection of blaNDM and blaIMP, and the positive rate of eCIM was 83% and 55% for blaNDM and blaIMP, respectively. However, in the case of esCIM, the rate increased to 97% and 73%, respectively. For all MBLs, the sensitivity of esCIM and eCIM observed was 91% and 76%, respectively, while the specificity of the two methods was 100%. Taken together, esCIM could be performed easily and interpreted quickly.

Metallo-beta-lactamase-producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) is a major pathogen in burn wounds, often exhibiting high levels of antibiotic resistance, which complicates treatment strategies. This study deals with the validity of the modified Carbapenem Inactivation Method (mCIM) and the simplified Carbapenem Inactivation Method (sCIM) phenotypic tests for screening metallo-beta-lactamase (MBL) production by P.

Background: Escherichia coli (E. coli) O157:H7, associated with diarrhea, poses a global health risk. In Ethiopia, where diarrhea is common, there is limited knowledge about these resistant strains and a lack of data on Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase (ESBL) and carbapenemase production.

For the first time, using a chemical pollutant (an antibiotic) as a photosensitizer to improve the elimination of a microbiological contaminant of emerging concern (antibiotic-resistant bacteria) is presented. The effect of ciprofloxacin (CIP) on the inactivation of three light-promoted antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) was evaluated. Ciprofloxacin-resistant Escherichia coli, ciprofloxacin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, and carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Background: The investigation into risk factors, molecular epidemiology, and resistance mechanisms of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CRPA) in pediatric populations in China is currently inadequate.
Methods: To assess epidemiology, molecular characteristics, and resistance mechanisms, virulence-associated genes were analyzed, alongside multi locus sequence typing (MLST), PCR, and qRT-PCR.
Finding: Multivariate analysis identified prolonged hospitalization (OR: 1.

Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) and carbapenemase-producing (CP) gram-negative bacteria are the major public health concerns. Gowns used by healthcare workers (HCWs) in daily practice are a source of hospital-acquired infections in hospital settings. The study aimed to determine the prevalence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase and carbapenemase-producing gram-negative bacteria from gowns of healthcare workers at Debre Berhan Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Amhara Regional State, Ethiopia.
